Geekcorps Mali’s BottleNet in Wired Magazine
22 May 2005 in Programs, Press, Mali by Geekcorps
Geekcorps Mali is changing the mindscape of technology one word at a time. This month’s word is “BottleNet” and it’s featured in the June edition of Wired Magazine on page 46 in the Jargon Watch section.
Seeing is believing: here is a JPG of the page. So be cool the next time you’re talking tech and use “BottleNet” in a sentence like this: “Yeah, I was thinking of buying a $100 WiFi antenna from Best Buy too, but instead I built a Geekcorps BottleNet for $2. Sweet, eh?”
