Kikuyumoja wants to know the number of Africans on Twitter: “How many African twitterdudes & -dudettes are there on Twitter?
Am asking because of my friends on facebook who feel like being spammed with “JKE is twittering:…” messages on their feed pages. I’ve received at least two “what is this twittering business”-questions so far and then try to explain it.”

Rebecca's notes on the first day of ICANN meeting in Nairobi, Kenya. ICANN is the body that governs the assignment of domain names and IP addresses worldwide: “But I must say am impressed with the people that turned up, actually I thought it would have been a nice time to pass some controversial stuff because you would have lesser people but alas….many of them came.”

I am currently on twitter but I don’t think I will end up using it a lot long term, I feel it’s too much of a tool of distraction unless you need to constantly keep in touch with business associates or a social circle across a long distance.
I would use twitterpacks: http://twitterpacks.pbwiki.com/ and if there is not an Africa or Africans twitter group, start one and tweet it out and ask everyone else to add their name to the list.
I’m @waynesutton on twitter and I’m African-American
The other day I had been blogging about Tweets or Blogs – A Personal Perspective (1) and how twitter had been doing as a social network tool. But this is something else about how many Africans are on Twitter and it implications for teenagers. http://twurl.nl/ppcr7v
