It's Your Monday Afternoon Roundup, v0.1 (beta)

Working weekends? Some people never seem to take a break. We celebrate them, and their whirring gray matter, here in your first-ever Monday blog and news roundup:

• Paul Currion wonders about the real impact of tools like Ushahidi in humanitarian contexts on the MobileActive blog.
• David Saseki pushes back against the idea of 21st Century Statecraft and then adds a followup.
• Dayo Olopade looks at What Google Wants with Africa... and What Africa Wants in return in Foreign Policy.
• Jared Cohen and Eric Schmidt take on authoritarianism with new communications tools in The New York Times.
• Evgeny Morozov finds this particularly funny.
