Following the FricaFacts

So this week Appfrica is rolling out a new mash-up project called FricaFact. This one is all about educating the masses about Africa using social media tools…specifically Twitter. The app is pretty simple. Right now it displays a different fact each day about the continent, it’s countries, it’s people, it’s culture. Want to participate? Just follow @fricafact on Twitter and you’re all set.

How does it work? Visit FricaFact.com, if you aren’t already logged in to Twitter, then log-in with your Twitter account to re-tweet individual facts right from the page. From here you can read different facts, share them, email them or bookmark them. Users can also submit facts by twitter direct message or email.

What’s the purpose? Outside of what I mentioned above, I’m just a geek and I had a few hours to kill. =) Ultimately @fricafact exists to foster discussions about Africa while informing those interested in learning more.

There’s a lot in the works, so stay tuned!
