the site often frequently fails to load completely even after waiting for very long. it's weird because foreign sites likes of www.washingtonpost.com, www.cnn.com, nytimes.com, etc all load just fine. but www.eastandard.net loads ok.

I thought The Standard's website was changed to www.standardmedia.co.ke! It's rather funny and hard to believe that www.nation.co.ke, can be down, yet they make enormous profits to use the best ISP. I am left wondering what will happen once they fully embrace internet advertising! On 08/09/2009, Gakuru Alex <alexgakuru.lists@gmail.com> wrote:

Worse, they have articles filed on the wrong date -For example, Ex-teacher crafts money through works<http://www.nation.co.ke/magazines/money/-/435440/621220/-/px16v0/-/index.html>was posted By BARNABAS BII on Friday, October 9 2009 at 00:00. Totally messes up my rss feeds. Bah!

I think you are referring to one Fredrick Kimani. His e-mail, which I saw on ke-internet users list, is fkimani@nation.co.ke. Let us engage him on the problem with www.nation.co.ke! My thoughts. On 08/09/2009, Denis G. Wahome <dwahome@gmail.com> wrote:

I tend to have different results when I load the site(www.nation.co.ke);It actually loads very fast on my Zuku connection!

Guys I was just checking on the two rate cards for Nation and then for mashable.com and I am very impressed with how the mashable marketing team have structured their brochure. Though the fee is crazily high for mashable, I would love to engage with them further See attached Theus On Tue, Sep 8, 2009 at 11:41 AM, Denis G. Wahome <dwahome@gmail.com> wrote:

Yesterday, I tried logging to www.nation.co.ke using my phone and got a 503. I use Zain. However, today, it's working pretty well! On 08/09/2009, Muniu Kariuki <dennis.muniu@gmail.com> wrote:
