Afrigator is a social media aggregator and directory built especially for African digital citizens who publish and consume content on the web. It attempts to use social media tools and technologies to showcase the best digital content that the African continent has to offer, ranging from syndicated news feeds to blog posts, podcasts, videos and images. We invite citizen publishers with African content (or based on the African continent) to submit their sites and then we send clicks back to them. We also scan the Web for African-related tags and aggregate that content in the site. Afrigator was acquired by MIH Print Africa (Pty) Ltd (a division of Naspers Limited) on September 7, 2008.
