Is Africa ready for web 2.0?
With the birth of so many african social networks and other user generated content sites, One would ask if Africa is now embracing web 2.o just like europe and America.
We have by far a lesser number of internet users in Africa than in europe and America, I have seen some social networking sites in Africa with over 6 thousand members. you cant compare this with the tens of millions of people that use social networking sites in Europe and America.
may be web 2.0 shouldnt be introduced to Africa through social networking because I dont even think many Africans have the time and money to sit in front of a computer with an internet connection and spend hours browsing profiles, reading blogs and viewing pictures and videos posted by other africans.
