African Path launches social networking site


Visit African Path Village



Minneapolis, MN December 07, 2007 - African Path (http://www.blogger.com/www.africanpath.com) has just launched the African Path Village (http://village.africanpath.com/). African Path works at providing Africans with a platform where they can own and tell their stories on the global stage.

“The Village will allow our site visitors to connect and share the unique cultures from within Africa,” says Joshua Wanyama, founder of African Path. “We strive to provide a great online space that represents the continent. We are excited about the African Path Village as we have now opened doors for a lot of people to tell their stories while interacting with friends and family on our space.”

The growth of online communities has also made it possible for people to connect and discover new worlds. The African Path Village will facilitate this connection while providing the added benefit of news and opinion content from our flagship site African Path and our business site Cheetah Index.

This additional service allows African Path to better serve a growing number of site visitors seeking to connect with African culture, access breaking news and opinion on the continent and discover new businesses serving the African communities worldwide.

1st Edition of the Africa Enterprising Blog Carnival!

I am pleased to announce the first edition of the new blog Carnival for Africa Enterprising, which premiered on African Path this morning.

The Blog Africa Enterprising is the publicity arm of the Africa Enterprising Blog Network. And the aim is to promote increased awareness about Africa's trade potential by publicizing blogs and the bloggers who focus on business or entrepreneurship in Africa.

For those of you who may not be familiar with blog carnivals, here's a good definitionwhich comes by way of blogcarnival.com

We think blog carnivals are a great way for bloggers to recognize each
other's efforts, organize blog posts around important topics, and improve the
overall level of conversation in the blogosphere. Carnivals come in edited
"editions", just like magazines or journals. The fact that carnivals are edited
(and usually annotated) collections of links lets them serve as "magazines"
within the blogosphere, and carnival hosts can earn their readership by
providing high quality collections.

Since blog carnivals include lots of posts on specific topics, they also
serve as a place to connect with those who are expert (or at least highly
opinionated!) and those who are interested in that field.

The carnival went "live" on the African Path(http://www.africanpath.com/p_blogEntry.cfm?blogEntryID=942 ) this Wednesday June 6, 2007 morning at 10 am eastern standard time. Hat tips to Joshua for the great formatting job that he did on this edition.

The addresses where you can find past and future issues and links are:

• you may submit 1 or 2 of your past blog posts about business or entrepreneurship, as it pertains to one or more African countries

Otherwise, we hope that you enjoy this first edition of the blog carnival for Africa Enterprising!
