I was asked to do a guest post for the BBC, as they’re doing a new full-production special titled “Digital Revolution“, which is set to focus on the first 20 years of the internet.
The producer asked me to write about the changing face of blogging. Answering the question on, “has blogging lost its feeling of freedom, untethered and raw that once defined it?”
My answer is simply: no. You can read why on the link below:
Voices on the rise: raw and unfiltered blogging still lives
An excerpt (read the full post to catch the arguments):
“So, in answering my question at the beginning, we see not a loss in the freedom and raw power of citizen-based communication, but a burgeoning growth in it that threatens to overwhelm us all. In fact, the wave is coming on so strong and big that the most important question we need to ask is not how to get more citizen blogs, updates and voices, but how to filter it so that it remains useful.”
Out of the 950 people who were asked to fill questionnaires, 85% indicated that they actually read with the dailies ranking high up in their reading culture list. Next are magazines then bibles/religious books and finally fictional books.

All Nations that engaged in the Trans Atlantic slave trade owe Africa an apology and reparations for the heinous crimes that they committed shipping Africans in the most horrendous and sordid manner in a slave trade that span almost six centuries!What is sad is that up to this date certain emotive words are associated with places/landing points where the slaves were being shipped from to Western Countries. Among this places include the Cape Coast Castle and Elmina Castle Ghana one of which was recently visited by American President Barrack Hussein Obama and His Wife Michelle Obama.Shimoni at the Kenyan Coast is another such place.The word "Shimoni" means a hole/cave where slaves were kept pending shipment. In East Africa the main slave trade market was at Bagamoyo in Zanzibar .The name "Bagamoyo" means in swahili 'lay down your heart' which meant that once the slaves reached this market they would lay down any hopes of any return.It is sad, extremely sad.
