Signup Spam
Recently quite a number of spam-blogs have been registered on zungu.net. After I had closed down sign-up for some time I decided to try a signup-spam-plugin and hope that this will reduce unwanted sign-ups. So feel free to register your blog.
Update 1:
In order to further reduce signup-spam on wpmu I have installed WPMU Captcha Registration. When registering your first blog you have to enter the code shown on a captcha image. I really hate that, but I hope to reduce silly sign-ups of dumb spam-blogs.
Update 2:
The Captcha-Plugin seems to reduce spam, but still there are almost daily registrations. I’ve decided to password-protect signup. In case you want a blog, get in contact with me.
Note: Potential of Twitter in Africa
Soyapi Mumba writes on the chances of Twitter for a new communication network in Africa. I’ve recently used my twitter account to stay up to date with the german bundesliga soccer finals via my mobile while in Kenya. With Twitter it is possible to receive free messages of twitterers you follow to your mobile and give updates to people that follow you. Many newsagencies offer Twitter-stream, e.g. the BBC. Twitterfeed allows to integrate any RSS-Feeds into Twitter, e.g. your blogs posts. So get connected and stay up to date from anywhere.
