AfriGadget: Flickr Group
Have you taken a picture of some great African solution to everyday problems? Maybe you’ve got a picture of some other type of gadget that could be used in Africa.
Well, in order to get rid of the pictures in the right margin, we’re asking you to upload and tag your Flickr photos “AfriGadget”. A Flickr Group has been created at: http://flickr.com/groups/afrigadget/ and we’d love to have you start populating it when you have something to share.
Better yet, think of becoming a contributing author on AfriGadget! If you’re interested, email us at: main at afrigadget dot com

Access to the Internet is a whole lot harder there. But still people are getting used to the idea that their voices can be heard by way of the Internet, even if they can’t always use it. This blog is a great platform, and Flickr is great. Hardly anyone reads my blog, and yet some of the pictures I’ve posted from Flickr on my blog have gotten a hundred or more hits.
I’m so looking forward to getting my friends in Uganda to post pictures. It may take a little while, but this is going to be great.
