Where are the "thousands of active bloggers" in East Africa?

"The East African blogosphere has thousands of active bloggers who cover almost every conceivable topic within a local content context. "

This is the declaration by Moses Kemibaro in his East African Standard article, We have the demand for local content, why not upload it? I think I have to disagree.

There may be thousands of bloggers, but most are writing about personal events only interesting to them, or sports events that excite football followers. I don't see our hear that many East Africans writing about the intersection of ICT and business.

Where are the voices on technology? The commentary on its business impact? Who is an expert in ICT4D? These are the bloggers I am looking for and I've only found a few in East Africa.

  1. Appfrica
  2. White African
  3. Wanjiku's Take
  4. Kenya Entrepreneur
  5. Moses Kemibaro

Now according to Moses, there must be more bloggers than this in East Africa - I sure hope so as well. Who are they?
