OT : Writing Blogs
by The Ice Man 15 Aug '10

15 Aug '10

The past few days I've looked at various information on writing blogs. The advantage of mailing lists is that you can write out things quickly and move onto other subjects. Blogging is very interesting for writers. Though I've not written any blogs so far, I realized that content is different. You do things based on analysis which I find quite interesting, something we do many times here. I'll do some blogs over time for skunksWorks KE and if time further allows on my site. ( it'll depend on subject as I can only assume that skunks blog site will be moderated towards mostly tech info and discussions. I'd hate to rant about safcom or other things on official blog sites) My search also led me to blog aggregators and it seems we only have 2 in kenya. I think its KWB and Mashada. My view is that there should be more blog aggregators with more information and stats of blog sites etc. I feel we have let down @Saidimu who had started a very interesting project and went to a lot of effort to put down the threads that could have been a key development here, there has been no chat back and fourth on his threads since last week unless it went offlist. @Saidimu, kindly update please. Gentlemen, Ladies. Happy blogging on skunksworks KE. The site is here : http://blog.my.co.ke/ as pointed out by @Phares and if you look at the comment portion, it shows the kind of feedback kenyans are looking at out there. Hope to see you online at the blog or on email. Geographically we are ahead of the game in ICT and we should take the lead with content on technology and other things too. As usual, its me thots and corrections are welcome. :-) Rgds.

by David Mugo 14 Aug '10

14 Aug '10

Ok...I just thought this is something worth talking about, Zain in Tanzania has a 3GB data bundle for Tshs. 15,000 (830 Kenya shillings at today's rate), why cant big players like safaricom give us something affordable? David. -- ------------- http://blog.majibu.com
