CrisisNET Under the Hood: Part I, Our Architectural Framework

Inspired by recent technical posts by the Ushahidi Platform team, we're running a series of posts for software engineers and product developers detailing how the CrisisNET platform is put together. Contact us on Twitter to find out how you can get involved. We're taking the world's crisis data and making it accessible in a simple, intuitive, firehose of real-time information. In building the first version of the CrisisNET platform, we were most interested in validating our assumption that this problem (lack of access to real-time crisis data) is worth solving, with bonus points for discovering what sort of user (journalists, developers, analysts, crisis responders, etc) gets the most value out of this type of service.
