Today is African News Day.
As I mentioned before, I've been using an RSS aggregator called FeedReader. Nice piece of software that I'm finding quite useful for keeping up with select blogs. Using it with news aggregators like Moreover.com is a bit less satisfactory. The problem is getting the same news, usually AP or other newswire stories, over and over and over with slight to nonexistant variations in headlines. So I'm still looking at alternatives.
As regards Africa, I believe I've found one. Pambazuka News will be the source of all the material I post today, with the exception of any original post I may write (I still try with mixed success to get off at least one per day).
There will be two more lots of posts. I'll give more information about what Pambazuka News has to offer with the next bunch. And with the last I'll give URLs and whatnot.
For now, though, I'm going to be selfish.
LATER: I lied.
Okay, not lied. I fully intended to post only news on Africa today, but some other stuff has come to my attention that must be blogged.
