African bloggers in the US press

Shashank Bengali the African correspondent for McClatchy Newspapers has written an article on the African blogosphere for his newspaper group. An edited version of the story was carried by the Miami Herald today. Shashank also runs a blog called “Somewhere in Africa” which is full of interesting read such as this post on the blogger/skunker/techie/TEDster/nyama choma lovers/penguins* meet up on Madaraka Day3 weeks ago.
