Wayan Vota reports that broadband boosts GDP more than mobiles [1].

WorldChanging has a series of posts listing their favorite blogs [2], divided by subject.

The NYT features African fashion glossies [3], highlighting both the purchasing power of wealthy Africans and the large divide between the rich and the poor.

Changemakers [4] and kiwanja.net [5] are soliciting input for an SMS How To Guide [6].

3 South African companies [7] make it into BusinessWeek’s Top 40.

And finally, Make Magazine [8] shows us how to make some Augmented Reality cookies [9].
