WhiteAfrican covers African Web2.0 startups

WhiteAfrican has been playing African TechCrunch recently covering creative Africans working on cool startups right here in Africa.

Some of the interesting innovators covered that I really liked include:

Adventures of Nyangi
A 3D Adventure game created by a Kenyan game developer who also created the engine that powers the game. (via http://whiteafrican.com/?p=675)

In Malawi, the windmill kid William Kamkwamba is still making headlines even at Digg and BoingBoing. Malawi's The Nation Newspaper of 2nd July 2007 also carried a feature article titled Behold, the scientist from Malawi.

The same paper carried a programme by ESCOM, Malawi's electricity company, detailing scheduled power outages running the whole week in various areas. Some outages were scheduled from 05:00 to 13:30 and others from 17:45 to 21:00.

Innovators like William have huge opportunities in Africa!
