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.

Five Ways A Microelectronics Institute Will Benefit Africa

By

These are five ways we think establishing a microelectronic institute in any African country will help. Of course, there are many reasons, but we just want to focus on these five points. Microelectronics is the engine of the knowledge economy and nothing can really work out without it. Your ICT depends on it and without it, no ICT. It is a very important industry.

 

  • A microelectronics institute will provide African microelectronics researchers and students with industry-caliber design resources, access to state-of-the-art prototyping technologies, tools for test and support services. This proposal will enable us acquire the facilities needed for the training and research. Also, this proposal will enable us provide the resources necessary to create technology adoption and diffusion by utilizing the expertise of African experts in Diaspora to visit the respective universities, on short term basis, to educate.

 

 

  • The aim is to provide Africa University systems with the opportunity to develop an institute which will become in future an avenue to seek grants from many multinational firms in Africa who presently are not funding researches in Africa. An institute will showcase the readiness of Africa’s educational institutions to conduct researchers for firms like Motorola, CISCO, HP, etc. This future anticipated industry supported R&D (research & development) will help develop our students, staff and management learn.

 

  • The institute will offer our students and staff opportunities to collaborate with global partners in the areas of comparative technologies, especially solar technology, which we will vigorously conduct researches on. Our students will be enriched in this program.

 

  • The institute will post some educational podcasts on our website for the general learning and education of the public. This will be followed with Internet Virtual Classroom and Labs (IVCL) to enable other African students benefit from our programs irrespective of distance.

 

  • The institute is designed to be academic, market and industry centric- this positions it to deliver programs to the needs of the academia, market and industry towards producing students with world-class skills.

Instructables – DIY Crowdsourced. Let It Get Going In Nigeria

Instructables is a web-based community and documentation platform where passionate people share what they do and how they do it, and learn from and collaborate with others. The seeds of Instructables germinated at the MIT Media Lab as the future founders of Squid Labs built places to share their projects and help others.

 

A sampling of recent popular Instructables how-to’s include a guide to building your first robot, DIY Arduino projects, numerous solar applications and creative mobile phone hacks.

 

Who can get this going in Nigeria? Maybe, one of our folks can start an event where Nigerian hackers can come together and co-create and then share. We need hardware as we need software and this is one way of getting to the hardware.

 

From Wikipedia

Instructables is a website specializing in user-created and uploaded do-it-yourself projects, which other users can comment on and rate for quality. It was created by Eric Wilhelm, a mechanical engineer, and launched in August 2005. Instructables is dedicated to step-by-step collaboration among members to build a variety of projects. Users post instructions to their projects, usually accompanied by visual aids, and then interact through comment sections below each Instructable step as well in topic forums.
