Comments on: Unreliable Tanzania 1: Fatigue http://stilgherrian.com/toto/unreliable-tanzania-1-fatigue/ All publication is a political act. All communication is propaganda. All art is pornography. All business is personal. All hail Eris. Vive les poissons rouges sauvages!

But we were also juggling transport schedules with the Italian visitors and the unexpected (by me, anyway) UK-commissioned photographers. I get the feeling that ActionAid International Tanzania spends a significant amount of time working to the needs of random visitors. It'd be difficult for them to voice any concerns, since the visitors are presumably the ones bringing the money. @mike seyfang: “Something daily” was the original intention, but the best laid plans etc etc.

Gotta say the tweets didn't really cut the mustard for this keen observer. When I was in a nearby timezone with good connectivity, you were only able to push out tweets via sms. When you had better connectivity, I was travelling with poor connectivity and missed most of the timely tweets. Didn't find my way to the pictures on the actionaid blog till I read this. I was hoping for daily blog posts that I could catch up on in my own time, with a picture or two each day and maybe the odd spot of audio. Had they been delivered via RSS I'd have been more connected, and only one sleep behind the action. Will read the retrospective blog posts with interest - keen to know what you tried, what worked and what didn't. Maybe things were just too rushed.
