What theyre saying about iGaza:
Jerusalem Post, July 2011:
"Hachamov takes his hat off to Palestinian supporters, who he says are adept at promoting their message through social media. "Theyre doing great stuff recently," he says. He gave the example of iGaza, an app developed for iPhone."
The Electronic Intifada, June 2011:
"I just downloaded a brand new free iPhone app called iGaza. I was pleasantly surprised by how good this is. It brings a stream of news about Palestine, more specifically Gaza and activism to break the blockade of Gaza right to your phone.
"It draws from wide range of sources including mainstream media and human rights groups and has buttons that give you all the latest news on a number of specific topics. The application presents a short summary of an item and a link to the original, and allows easy sharing via social media."
Ali Abunimah, founder of The Electronic Intifada (http://electronicintifada.net/)
