Introducing ICT4D Africa Twitters List for FollowFriday
On the social networking site Twitter, there are many people who talk about ICT4D, and many who talk about Africa. But there are few who talk only and consistently about IC4D in Africa. So to try and cut through the clutter and hone in on the relevant voices for ICTworks, back in August I started a FollowFriday list in the ICTworks Network.
While that effort did find a few new voices, it wasn't very effective at sharing these voices with others. Then just yesterday, Twitter turned on a "list" functionality - you can now make your own lists of Twitter people, and share this list with others. And now we have:
@ICT_works/ICT4D-Africa-Twitters
You can now follow ICTworks's ICT4D Africa Twitters list in Twitter, which will give you a high-quality, real-time understanding of what is happening in Africa around information and communication technologies for development.
But by no means is this list fixed - members may come and go, depending on their focus and tweet quality. If you know of others that we should follow, please let me know. Self-referral is okay too - just add yourself in the comments below.
