I arrived in Columbia late on Sunday night after a few too many flight delays in Miami. A taxi got me to the house of my friend Jason Bragg, who I traveled through Asia with waaaaay back in 2001.
I hadn’t planned it, but the next day there was a huge march just a few blocks from the apartment. The video above was taken there. What was especially interesting to me as a non-Colombian web guy, was that the whole thing was conceived less than a month ago on a Facebook group. Several hundred thousand people showed up in Bogotá, and worldwide numbers were in the millions. Nothing til now has given me such a visceral understanding of the power of social networks.
So yes, I’m in Colombia, which means blogging will be light. If you want to follow my travels, I’ll be posting more frequently to my new wandering-specific page. (also via RSS
