I read this article on Slashdot and thought of Ushahidi. In the comments numerous people are looking for a technology that can do what Ushahidi can.
A great way to promote the platform, get more people using it, and in turn more developers would be to not only comment on that article, but submit a piece on how Ushahidi's deployment in Haiti helped search and rescue efforts, and can even ask the slashdot community some questions on how to make Ushahidi better.
