AfriGadget

Erik Hersman posted a story on AfriGadget (March 13) about Alfred Sirleaf, "an analog blogger". Sirleaf "runs the 'Daily News', a news hut by the side of a major road in the middle of Monrovia.......He uses his cell phone as the major point of connection between him and the 10,000 (he says) that read his blackboard daily."

AfriGadget is a website dedicated to showcasing African ingenuity. A team of bloggers and readers contribute their pictures, videos and stories from around the continent. The stories of innovation are inspiring. It is a testament to Africans bending the little they have to their will, using creativity to overcome life’s challenges.

This is a great website!
