VoJo

Vojo.co is a hosted mobile blogging platform that makes it easy for people to send stories to the web from inexpensive mobile phones via voice calls, SMS, and MMS. Our goal is to provide a platform that enables people in low-income communities, or in situations where data plans are not widely accessible, to participate in the digital public sphere. You don't need a smart phone or an app to post blog entries or digital stories to Vojo - any phone will do. You don't even need internet access: Vojo lets you create an account via sms and start posting right away.

In addition to content posting via voice, sms, and MMS, and sms registration, features include tags, geocoding, maps, MMS filters, groups, and group messaging. It's easy to set up your Vojo Group, and you can use it any way you'd like: for your organization, for shared topics, for event coverage, to post stories about local heroes, to document public health campaigns, anything. Groups admins can also send sms and multimedia content out to registered users' mobile phones.

Vojo is powered by the VozMob Drupal Distribution, which has been developed through an ongoing collaborative design process by day laborers, household workers, students, and a diverse team from the Institute of Popular Education of Southern California (IDEPSCA).
