Using Twittter to Bring Peace to a Kenyan Village

Eish my pipu,

Looks like somepeople are not just using Twitter for gisting...Chief Francis Kariuki (@Chiefkariuki), a Kenyan chief is using the social media outlet to foil robberies, prevent latrine drownings, recover stolen livestock, and much more!
Chief you force waaaa...great job and great example!

So what about Twitter use throughout Africa?

According to an article in the Guardian, Kenya has one of the highest levels of use on the African continent, so the Chief has made a great choice indeed.  There is also a really great map that illustrates Twitter use across the continent (to the left). Check it out!

As for my Ghana peeps, UP YOUR GAME!  Haba!  We are barely a blip on the African TwitterVerse.  Oya, add Tweeting to your texting and Facebooking.

Okay ohhhh, I am going to go Tweet about this post.
