Blogging as an online activity is increasing evolving in this part of the world. More people are getting online to share their expertise, experiences, passion, private life and more, for the fun of it or to earn some additional income to pay those bills. Although the motivation for blogging is as diverse as the various blogging subjects, one thing remains – African blogs are increasing in number, and the existing ones improving in quality. Not to forget many that have fallen by the way side.
It just makes sense that there is a movement to celebrate the activities of bloggers in world, once every year. It was thus a pleasant surprise to me to learn about BlogDay. From their website:
BlogDay was created with the belief that bloggers should have one day dedicated to getting to know other bloggers from other countries and areas of interest. On that day Bloggers will recommend other blogs to their blog visitors.
With the goal in mind, on this day every blogger will post a recommendation of 5 new blogs. This way, all blog readers will find themselves leaping around and discovering new, previously unknown blogs.
It is in this spirit that Loy Okezie of StartsUpNigeria.com recommended my personal self-named blog “Oluniyi David Ajao” as one of the 5 Nigerian blogs he monitors regularly and enjoys reading. See: StartupsNigeria: Nigerian Bloggers for Blog Day 2008
With exception of BellaNaija, I know the other blogs he has recommended and have a great respect for their respect authors. What else can I say? Things can only get better.
