I met three folk, whom I’d never met before, at a party in Kigali this weekend. A consultant, a business owner and a diplomat. They all knew of kigaliwire and were very kind in their praise of the blog. What interested me was how each of them received information from the site.
- the diplomat only looked at Twitter and rarely visited the blog
- the business owner received daily emails and rarely visited the blog
- the consultant - and I was particularly pleased that someone actually found this wee tweak useful - told me he visited the blog every day and hovered over the links to get a quick blast of a story from the single para that magically appears (as in the image above)
I was intrigued and gratified to hear how different people accessed the news in completely different ways. By cobbling together a bunch of useful, free tools you can easily make information as accessible as possible for people who are interested in what goes on on your beat.
Some key tools to make this all happen:
twitter, feedburner, diigo, wordpress and facebook (although I don’t use it anymore)
