True RockeTalk Story from Kashmir
August 14, 2008
Posted by RockeTalk on August 14, 2008
On our last post we asked for your true stories of RockeTalk. We have recieved several such stories, which we will publish over the comming days and weeks.
But one true story has caught our attention, because it involves the very serious situation in Kashmir. As you know the violence in the Indian-administered Kashmir over the transfer of land to a Hindu organization in the majority Muslim state may jeopardize the peace process between India and Pakistan.
Through RockeTalk people of different religous and economic backgrounds have been able connect and discuss a common cause. A Muslim from Kashmir is able to relate his story, using video, to a Hindu-Sikh girl in California. It goes to show you the true power of social networking. Read the whole story of Kashmir: Paradise Lost!

Thanks Amit. There are lots of realtime ‘reporting’ like this one that come through- from street fights to the various stages of the river waters rising during a flood – to a user actually sending us pictures just after he got out of his totally smashed car. This of course is a much more serious and a social issue.
I’ll be writing more on real user experiences and how creatively they use a solid messaging platform so stay tuned!
