This time instead of going wide, Hash decided to quality. So this edition has 5 posts, plus one bonus. Actually, as Imnakoya had tried to persuade me, this is probably the format that the carnival should have taken from the beginning-don’t know why I’m so stubborn at times. Really, what I have learned so far is that this whole blog carnival deal works out a lot better though when the host is empowered to use his or her own creative license.

I have learned that there will be several summits in Tanzania around May, they are not really related to blogging, though but I am planning to be there and then stop over in Kenya and elsewhere in the vicinity.

NaijaMan: Thanks. I escaped the tragedy. Accidents happen everywhere; the scale of the disaster can't be appreciated by photos or videos...and I was on ground to see how the first-responders and other crew assembled on ground-zero in Minneapolis...in a very efficient and organized manner. There were also lots of citizen-journalists on ground... with their cameras.
