Afrigator is now the ONLY aggregator worth talking about in Africa. It is the ONLY one paying attention to bloggers in Africa as a whole and letting the market decide who goes where in the rankings. I think they have only scratched the surface and the guys there seem to know exactly what they are doing, this time next year, we will be talking a completely different language with Afrigator. As you can probably tell, I love the 'gator, a one stop shop for an overview of the state and depth of the wired Africa. And it turns out you were right.

On the issue of competition, I am inclined to think that the aggregators will lead to more of an incentive to produce higher quality, better written posts. Thanks for the info on Amamotu, and all the great work with BlogAfrica! I just came across Afrigator independently today, very exciting development!
