Implementation is irrelevant

Here are some amazing photos of a man in Liberia who is "blogging" sans blog:

In Monrovia, Liberia a unique form of journalism exists where the news is written out daily on a chalk board for everyone to read as they pass by on the busy main street. Alfred J. Sirleaf first established his chalk board news, " Daily Talk" on May 14th 2000 during the Charles Taylor regime. The innovative journalist saw a need for "straight to the point" reporting that was free and accessible to all. His provocative style of reporting the truth led him to seriously fear for this life and resulted in the Daily Talk being destroyed twice before he finally fled into "exile" in Ghana. As peace returned so did the Daily Talk and today it is one of the most read News Sources in the capital with thousands everyday taking the time to stop as they walk or drive by to get the breaking news.
