In addition to GVO's Ndesanjo Macha's opening address at the recent Digital Citizen Indaba 2007 at Rhodes University (South Africa) your readers may be interested in reading a post by Duadi Were of Mentalacrobatics (a top Kenyan blogger) titled "Who Owns the African Blogosphere". You can find references and links to Duadi's post at my blog or if you deem it necessary simply update your post to include that information. Web2fordev.net is a great find on the web and it is even more exciting to see an African female journalist writing about the latest in information technolgies and how they can affect development on the continent. Blogging and social networks are not "elitist" for Africans, it is how Africa's renaissance leaders of the 21st Century stay in touch with each other and interact and share knowledge with people all over the planet.
