Blogging catches on in Africa, despite technology limitations » PopMatters | News and Commentary | PopWire:
"In a sign that the medium is maturing, Were said that many of the sites saw a surge in traffic from in Kenya in the days after the plane crash.
“More Kenyans are looking to blogs for news and information, like people do in the States,” said Were, who first began experimenting with blogs as a university student in Manchester, England, in the late 1990s.
Now he balances blogging about politics and technology with his day job as an administrator at the Uzima Foundation, a youth-oriented nonprofit group founded by his family. He keeps a computer geek’s hours, often tinkering with his site into the early morning on his Toshiba laptop, using a painfully slow dial-up connection."
