Writing on his Peace and Collaborative Development Network Blog, Global Voices’ Caucasus Editor recounts his experience of using online social networks in cross-border communication and peace building initiatives between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Locked into a still unresolved conflict over the disputed territory of Nagorno Karabakh, another post, however, looks at some concerns raised by fellow GV-ers Ethan Zuckerman and Jillian C.York while assessing whether new open source decentralized social networks such as Diaspora offer a solution. The latest post also examines the use of simple, free tools such as Skype in bringing the two sides together.

Peace to all of you people!
Thanks, Lucy. There’s a link to a report on the PeaceJam in this post, and the British Ambassador also points readers in the direction of another post I made outside of Global Voices on the same project.
