I am particularly interested in Social Networks in Africa and currently looking at a business model to address this. I agree with the quote ‘Social networks are most useful as facilitators for offline connections’, particularly in Africa where informal networks already exist in various formats. I also agree with David that there are instances where this might not be possible due to challenges with location. In such instances, online networking is fantastic! I have personally benefitted from connections with people who are not within my immediate locality. I believe the biggest challenge at the moment within Africa is the technology infrasture, which I believe is being addressed. I can’t wait for us to catch up with the west in theh area of technology!

Great post! I really like this quote, “Social networks are most useful as facilitators for offline connections.” I’ve been blogging for quite sometime and have used MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn, as well as Twitter to promote my personal brand and hopefully link to others on and offline.

It takes work, like all networking, but it very rewarding.

Having spent most of my recent ‘working’ life alone in the corner of a lounge or bedroom in some far-off English village, the chances to regularly meet with the kinds of people interested in what I has generally been on the slim side. I was cursing all of my email and Facebook interactions the other day, but truth be told I’d never be able to connect the way I do without them.

Health workers in Kenya, or election monitors in Nigeria, would never write me a letter and ask to use FrontlineSMS, or to ask for mobile help. It just wouldn’t work. And the chances of meeting up with any of these people ‘in real life’ is very slim, sadly (but who knows – there’s always the Stockholm Challenge!).

So, although I agree that using the online world to facilitate offline interaction is hugely beneficial, where this is not possible simply joining the dots is still a huge leap forward.

great seeing you again and meeting your adorable daughter.

you got it, online social networking is the facilitator. taking the next step by meeting offline is when the real magic happens so to speak.

The other day while meeting fellow bloggers in Frankfurt, Germany (who I of course had to inform about the vivid Afrosphere), I for the first time since ages felt this spirit again of being in a conversation with ppl who actually *know* what I am talking about.

It looks like it’s worth checking out though, so thanks for the link.

Jim, thanks! Looks like .gov is keeping you pretty busy these days. Keep safe on your world travels.
