One dark Arctic evening early in January 2011, I started playing around with Tumblr as a way to track news on emerging Africa. Dirk Knemeyer and I had just discussed doing a series of articles on the emerging opportunities in Sub Saharan Africa to be published weekly over the course of the spring and I thought this might be a fun way to research and manage tidbits of interesting happenings.
Who would have ever imagined I'd reach the end of the year with The Prepaid Economy: African Edition and not only have it invited to be showcased by Tumblr in their Business section but organically gain almost 2000 followers without a whisper of a link or a tweet. Thanks.
