Video Clips

If you have any photos or video clips showing people using technology in an interesting way in an off the grid or quasi off the grid situation, please send them to me. A video feed will be up on ugotrade.com very soon!

Ugonet.org is a free video/photo sharing site and social network for off the grid folks, social entrepreneurs, digital pioneers, traveler activists, anthropologists (pseudo or not), media makers - photographers, film makers, artists, and musicians world wide. Ugonet will be an online hub - a tool, knowledge base, showcase, and meeting place for everyone interested in finding new ways to connect across digital and economic divides - an inside look at positive global development, a place to imagine change where your vision counts.

UGOTRADE

Ugotrade will be a global internet reality show - an off beat cross between, "The Apprentice," and The Discovery Channel's, "Going Tribal." Ugotrade will bring on grid folks - innovative technologists, social entrepreneurs, bloggers, broadband video pioneers, and other www2 stars - together with off grid pioneers as they reinvent global trading from the back of a yak, a canoe on the Amazon, and a houseboat in New Orleans. Ugotrade's aim is to evolve Dr Yunus' Nobel Prize winning model of micro lending into investment in local wireless communications.
