I may have been omitted from CNN’s list of African tech voices published today, but I was delighted to receive copies of the BBC Focus on Africa Magazine (January – March 2012) edition featuring my cover story article.
The article was about Google’s attempt at localizing search in Africa and what other search engines can learn from their inaction.
You can grab a copy of the magazine at a news stand which also has a feature on the upcoming London 2012 Olympics, reality talent shows in Nigeria and the African Cup of Nations 2012.
Thanks to Editor, Nick Ericsson for featuring my article.
