Kenya does it again

Did you know that a Kenyan site, http://www.afrigadget.com was acknowledged as being one of the top 50 sites in the world by Time Magazine for 2008?

The site features many African ideas and how Africans are proving themselves innovative and getting themselves out of difficult situations. Some of the ideas are simply breathtaking and could be helpful to most of us.

The main guy, Erik, has been featuring in the Kenyan IT field for a long time and has come alive in the few camps organized to being together techies in Nairobi, mostly Barcamp. The last year's I managed to meet and chat him up. A pleasant fella.

He got together with some other Kenyans and did this site. A hapless feather on top of our hats, yet again, especially after our Rugby Sevens team kicked New Zealand's ass yet again over the week.
