Blogger TaniaIt was a few months ago that Female Internet Hero Estelle Akofio-Sowah reminded thenextwomen of the luxurious position people are in the Western world, to have the time and infrastructure to use the internet to the fullest. We were therefore pleasantly surprised that there is a small group of Africans, more in particular African women who do have that time. Afrigator compiled a list of them, to be found here. Although the bloggers are predominantly from Developed Africa, it is nice to see there is also women on there from Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda and Ethiopia.

Here are those that write about internet and technology:

  • Tania: writes bout project management, IT and the arts

  • Melissa Attree: writes about online marketing, web 2.0, Web PR, social media, blogging, wikis
  • Insight: writes about business, tech and life
  • Anja Merret: writes about Internet, marketing, politics and life
  • Michelle Clarke: writes about online and web Marketing
  • Ore: writes about life and technology

small group of Africans?

small group of Africans? really?
Exactly how arrogant and presumptuous is this. Not to mention completely and totally incorrect and inaccurate.

A little bit of research would have revealed to you that there are thousands of African bloggers. One of the first widely followed female bloggers was a ghanian who started blogging in 1999.

If I recall correctlly we already had this 'where ar the African bloggers diatribe' right along witht he 'where are the 'black bloggers' diatribe.

It is ridiculous and completely insulting.

And can someone, anyone please tell what 'developed Africa' is.. and why Kenya, Nigeria and Ethiopia are not 'developed Africa'.

Maybe you would find or be acquainted with those 'african bloggers' if you spoke about the same things they are interested in. There are literally thousands of female nigerian bloggers, kenyan bloggers.. (by the way, kenyan bloggers have lead the way in terms of organisation... nigerians in terms of volume.

For once, I wish a female collective would take the time to stop patronising Africna women with ridicuous and inaccurate statements.

We African bloggers exist.we know our selves, we find ourselves via links from other African blogs. we've been doing it for at least 10 years..
And we didn't need your help in defining our level of discourse nor development.

thank you
