Despite good outing,  Nigerian students  have  failed  to scale the hurdle to round two  of ongoing  Imagine Cup 2011 in the software design category.

 

Although    Team Nerds Inc from the Federal University of Technology Akure( FUTA)  that  represented Nigeria put up a good performance   that was applauded by the panel of Judges shortly after their presentation,  thier  solution, according to keen observers,  has the capacity to  further  solve some  of primary health care challenges in Nigeria and the rest of African sub-region.

 

However,  Nigerian team  is still hopeful in the  People’s choice award  having been ranked  4th position  in the online voting that will end by 12th of July, 2011.

Google Barometer: In email Services, GMail Still Trails Yahoo Mail and Hotmail

By

As the world goes frenzy because of the impending arrival of Google plus, we want to remind everyone that Google is not a sure winner. It has lost many battles despite the the armory of cash and talents. Tekedia has compiled where this giant has fought and lost or not winning. Except from video (Youtube) and of course search, the fun is not that straight. Of course Picasa, Blogger, and others are blockbuster acquisitions, yet, do not forget the Gmail.

 

Gmail is a free, advertising-supported email service provided by Google. Users may access Gmail as secure webmail,as well via POP3 or IMAP protocols. Gmail was launched as an invitation-only beta release on April 1, 2004 and it became available to the general public on February 7, 2007, though still in beta status at that time.The service was upgraded from beta status on July 7, 2009, along with the rest of the Google Apps suite. As of November 2010, it had 193.3 million users monthly. (wikipedia)

 

 

Despite what the pundits will tell you Yahoo and Hotmail still rule over Google in Gmail. It may have a customizable interface, offered the first open unlimited storage space, yet, it has not overcome Yahoo Mail or Hotmail. Gmail has 200 million users. That does not take you anywhere when Facebook has 714 million users. Yahoo Mail is the king of free email service, at least for now.

 

So, in mail, Google is not winning. Tekedia will be giving updates on major Google acquisitions or products in coming days and how they have fared since.

MainOne Website Gets a Makeover – Raking More Clients

MainOne site gets a makeup. This company is a social media animal. You will not even know that it is a big telecom giant. Just over few months,  Main One’s clients include 80% of the largest telecommunications operators and ISPs in Nigeria and Ghana.

 

About MainOne

Main One Cable Company Limited (‘Main One’) is the first submarine cable company offering open access, wholesale broadband capacity in West Africa. Main One is wholly African-owned with a vision to expand the much needed capacity on the African continent ensuring reduced costs of broadband communications across Africa. This vision has been realized in a submarine cable system that commenced operations in July 2010 with initial landing stations in Nigeria, Ghana and Portugal – connecting West Africa to the rest of the world via Portugal and the United Kingdom.  Today, majority of the telecommunication operators and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in Nigeria and Ghana are subscribing to broadband capacity on the Main One network.

 

Main One’s high capacity fibre network provides reliable and first class service delivery that can be measured against international standards ensuring broadband capacity is easily available and accessible to all within West Africa for regional and international operators as well as service providers. At Main One, we see the communication challenges that limit African businesses from being truly global players.  Opportunities now exist to showcase Africa’s technical and innovative prowess by employing Main One to providing the infrastructure platform that will help make your businesses grow and be successful by enabling your business to be always available and reachable from anywhere in the world.

 

Expensive bandwidth with poor service quality has meant that the entire population of Africa has been largely isolated by a Digital Divide. Main One’s submarine cable network bridges this divide. The network is designed to ensure that a subscription to Main One’s services guarantees an automatic connection to the rest of the world, thus enabling our customers to maximize their global reach and presence.  Our pledge to all our customers is that we will ensure they stay always connected in today’s global competitive landscape.  We have successfully met this pledge by maintaining 100% network availability since our launch in July 2010.
