Ethan Zuckerman has an interesting post about a new text messaging service in Kenya that alerts blue collar workers to job opportunities. Zuckerman writes, “If you’re a laborer, you can spend an amazing amount of your time wandering from one worksite to another, looking for opportunities. With Kazi560, workers can register via mobile phones and receive text messages, letting them know about job opportunities.”

People are getting very creative with mobile technology.
