Oaxaca Celebrates Radish Night
by Ron Mader
Oaxaca – It’s good to have a governor who appreciates Flickr and the spectacle that is Radish Night!
Web 2.0 — the second generation of web-based services that emphasize user generated content, online collaboration and sharing among users — is increasingly being used by Mexican leaders in political, business and social circles AND by travelers seeking information that provides depth to mainstream coverage. In 2011 we’ll explore more of the specific applications in addition to the Mexico Now workshops in Mazatlan, Sinaloa and the Responsible Tourism Fair in Oaxaca.
Recommended listening: an audio tour of the Oaxaca zócalo on Radish Morning.
