SwiftRiver is an open source platform that aims to democratize access to tools for filtering & making sense of real-time information.
Crowdsourcing In "the cloud"
When you need to get the Ushahidi platform up in 2 minutes to crowdsource information, Crowdmap will do it for you. It’s our hosted version of the Ushahidi platform.
