Somo la Teknohama (teknolojia za habari na mawasiliano). Majuzi tulisikia kuhusu Gargoyle. Sasa gazeti la Mail & Guardian wamekuja na Amatomu. Amatomu ni kama Technorati. “Technorati” ya Afrika Kusini. Technorati imekuwa ikilaumiwa kwakuwa teknolojia yake ina upendeleo fulani kwa wanablogu wa nchi za Magharibi. Soma lawama hizo toka kwa Africa Media, Blacklooks, na mchango wa Grandiose Parlor. Katika mazingira kama haya, ujio wa Amatomu tunaushangilia. [...] […] Afrika Kusini wanaelewa somo.

It is true that few African bloggers identify themselves as such. But let’s not kid ourselves, the Africa which Sokari speaks of is anglophone Africa; a very specific reality. That reality has come to be reflected in All Africa, which has always tried (giving a larger or smaller nod to Francophone Africa) to take control of the continental identity.

Es verdad que pocos bloggers africanos se identifican como tal. Pero no nos engañemos, el Africa de la que habla Sokari es el Africa anglofona, una realidad muy particular. La que viene a reflejar, en buen rollo All Africa, que siempre ha tratado (dando mayor o menor juego al Africa Francófona) de apropiarse de la identidad continental.

Most blogs don't ping popular blog services. Pinging Bloglines should get them listed on almost every other ping server including Technorati. Most Nigerian and African bloggers use Blogger which automatically turns pings off. You, I and others who use Wordpress have the rpc.pingomatic server pinged by default. I'm currently doing a tiny blogging series and exposing some things most people don't know. I'm discussing pings and trackbacks in my next post. I hope people pick it up.
