Link to International blogs: Afrigator covers Africa

(from Afrigator.com)

Billing itself as "Africa's social media aggregator", Afrigator has just gone beta. (I liked the tagline on their current Alpha-release home page: "Africa's talking - are you listening?" But the switch probably makes sense if a large part of their audience is within Africa.)

There are separate pages for News, Blogs, Podcasts and Videos. The Blogs page shows latest blog posts by category: All, Life, Entertainment, Business, Tech, Politics, Religion, and Sport. (Unfortunately that page is filled with predictable spam from Online Pharmacy Shop at the moment; with luck that will be fixed soon.)

For thorough coverage see Charl Norman (South Africa) at BandwidthBlog and Marshall Kirkpatrick (USA) of Read/WriteWeb. Erik Hersman of White African adds a count of blogs by country.

If you know of similar sites for other countries, please add a comment.

yeah, i liked their old tagline a lot too. but i think you hit it right on here. glad you picked up on them, totally good for them to be on the blogcosm radar. you wouldn't want the top blogs in africa to not be on blogcosm in the long run, i imagine. hope all's well over here! found this post via techmeme, btw! always a good sign when a vendor blog hits techmeme!

Yes, regional views are important and Africa is interesting for all sorts of reasons.
