Personera: A better Facebook app built by Africans
So often Africa is a consumer of software applications written by outsiders that its great to hear of a home-gown app that is actually better than its competition.
StartUp Africa writes about Personera which can create personalized print calendars using Facebook content. Ismail says this service is better than its rivals as well.
With Facebook driving ICT adoption in Africa, Personera should have a lucrative business model based on local buyers.
Congrats to Personera & may we have more examples of local talent!
