Widget for using cell phones as remote data entry devices
Describe your idea:
Whether for emergency preparedness, school system communication or other community organizations, it's sometimes easier for people to get to a cell phone than something connected to the internet. A method for broadcasting information from a central database and receiving it on a cell phone for non-profits, and for sending in from the cell phone to the database would be a tremendously helpful structure for broad-reach programs.
A website that can collect phone calls as audio files
Describe your idea:
I think there is a need for a website that can collect phone calls in audio format. That way we can change the entire idea of podcasting and can make it very relvant for the Southern grassroots people. How? They can use their cell phone to call different numbers in relationship with their requirements. These numbers can be the tags and it can go directly to a website. We can create refernece desk from where the replies can be relayed back as an audio SMS to that cell phone number. At the grassroots level, audio centric technology has a great demand as it can bypass the entire literacy and language issue.
