I need to throw in how much I enjoyed working with Markus. He’s a true professional and gets the job done. Make sure you check out his showreel…it’s tight.
Also, thanks to Arjen Strjker of Somesso for the chance to interview these interesting social media gurus!

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.

A Foreign Office spokeswoman emphasized the need for MI6 to build up its network of agents.
“The open recruitment campaign continues to target wide pools of talent representative of British society today,” she said.
“A number of channels are used to promote job opportunities in the organization. Facebook is a recent example.”
