Free SMS in Kenya

Posted by Ory Okolloh in Miscellany

On the heels of free wireless (for some only apparently), there’s a free sms promotion going on at this website.

EDIT: Looks like the promotion is now over.

EDIT 2 (June 15): The website is back up.

Free wireless in Nairobi

Posted by Ory Okolloh in Kenya, Technology

Apparently KDN is offering free wi-fi in Nairobi (think it’s a promotion for their Butterfly product). It’s supposed to last through the end of the month. If you have a wi-fi enabled laptop, PDA etc. just search for the essid butterfly and connect. They are supposed to have around 100 access points in Nairobi.

EDIT: Riba and Bankelele, where did you try and connect?

EDIT 2: Article on the wi-fi offer.

Quick hits!

Posted by Ory Okolloh in Kenya, Miscellany, Technology

- Presenting Jahazi (thanks Riyaz for initial heads up…man there’s lots of things buzzing in Nairobi, can’t wait to spend more time there). Can’t wait for it to go mobile and very happy to see Kenyan developers doing their thing.

- Also worth checking out, the Kenyan myspace - Nivipi.

- African blog spotlight: Coding South of the Sahara (the journey of an “Afropreneur” - love the word!)
