ICT4D in Africa FollowFriday List for Twitter

Recently on Twitter, I asked a #FollowFriday question: Who else should I be following for ICT4D in Africa? Those that primarily post news and information relevant to deploying computer system in rural areas.

Heather LaGarde said she was assembling list too, and wanted to share. So I've posted mine here:

Heather LaGarde's/ IntraHealth OPEN's ICT4D Twitter List

Submitted by Heather LaGarde (not verified) on Mon, 08/24/2009 - 13:20

I compiled this rather wide ranging list for our eHealth team at IntraHealth so it has a global health bent. It may also be deemed as slightly too broad as it includes those deploying and experiencing the realities of computer systems in rural areas- but I have learned a lot in following these folks.

A more targeted list

Submitted by Wayan Vota on Mon, 09/21/2009 - 02:33

Thanks for all these FollowFriday Twitter suggestions. While y'all have great lists of ICT4D people and those who may live or sometimes write about Africa, I'm looking for a smaller subset. I was hoping for a very targeted list of people who:

Write specifically on ICT4D in Africa and write often, with quality Tweets

Might there be more than the handful I know, but less than your groups? I can only follow so many people with any hope of reading all their posts.
