The New Media Diva

From ReadWriteWeb:

Contrary to popular belief, Africa is not completely absent from the Internet. In fact, the continent at large is undergoing a connectivity revolution unlike anything it has ever seen. Mobile phones in particular are propagating at an incredible rate, with penetration ranging from 30% to 100%. The average is 30.4% and there are 280 million subscribers in total, making Africa the fastest growing mobile market in the world.

ReadWriteWeb has just posted Part I of its series (?) on social media in Africa. Big, mad props to them for doing this.
