QuestionBox is inspired by hole-in-the-wall project .. I think some of the staff is the same…

I think it may be quite easy to monetize the QuestionBox project. Mahalo is weird but their so-to-be ex-video host Veronica Belmont is pretty good

Yes Sayan, that is certainly a probability. Not sure if you remember about the Hole in the Wall experiment and what came off it: http://www.hole-in-the-wall.com/Beginnings.html

There is a lot of hunger out there for information and tools to get this information. I hadn’t heard of the Question Box before, but it certainly is a better use of human power than Mahalo

maybe the access to Internet will transcend the traditional console based UI- which require a relatively high level of education to operate / interact.

Have heard about the QuestionBox project?

The Question Box is an intercom-like box set up in a public area in villages. Riding on existing phone networks, it has a button that connects users to an operator at a call center. The operator is located in front of an Internet-enabled computer. Users are free to ask the operator about anything that may interest them. The operator translates the questions into search queries, selects the most appropriate answers, and then translates the content back into the users’ native language at an understandable level

@Sayan,

Yes, sadly not nearly as fast as I would like…

The UN data is interesting but the growth in Internet users in India and China has been phenomenal in the past 4 years. IIRC, China has overtaken US in absolute numbers. However, I agree that Internet usage density is rising but not fast enough.

I was thinking that the even though there are a lot of Internet users in Europe, there are not a lot of readers from that region…

The reason probably is that my blog is English, and a lot of European readers prefer reading in their local language.
