Good Africa – the best team in Google – reports that Somalia has its own country domain. Thank you Google Africa for having that resilience to build this nation despite all odds.
Today, we thrilled to announce that Somali users now have a gateway to the world’s information through their own country domain, www.google.so .
Local domains are a first step towards making the web more accessible and relevant for people around the world. The new domain will help people in Somalia and find locally relevant information, faster.
Google Africa has been putting African languages on the web. They have done more in this area than any African government. They do it through share commitment, focus and passion that typify Google Africa. It is the only team that can mobilize folks to do some of these tasks. This Somali project is not an exception as they explained in their blog.
As part of the Google Africa community translation program, the Somali language interface was translated entirely by volunteers and polished by a passionate group of native speakers, language specialists & journalists in Eastleigh estate in Nairobi, fondly referred to as ‘little Mogadishu’. We wish to congratulate them for putting their language on the map.

If you have used Foursqaure, you will like it or hate it depending if you are an extrovert or introvert (yes, those stupid English we hate to love in schools). But everyone will agree on one thing – it could be a good tool for advertising companies. That is why Africa needs its version. Ebot Tabi delivers via Goefeed. Knowing where people are to give them the products they need has a lot of promise in this age.
According to him Geofeed was “developed after seeing the need for a service that provides reliable information about business places as well as localities across Africa”.
Geofeed.me is a Location Based Service and Social Network looking to perk up your social life and connect with friends while on the go, see where they are and communicate with them. Share and discover events, favorite places and special money saving locations around you.
Geofeed.me makes it easier to share & discover places with point of interest nearby you and many more. It is a personalised recommendation service for the physical world.
As users interact with Geofeed.me on their mobile phone or the website, to share and discover recommendations, Geofeed.me learns about the user, personalising those recommendations. One user might see a good rating for a bar, another user a bad rating for the same bar, depending on the taste of that user. This all happens automatically.
