Why, Thankyou, but Sorry!

ApologiesIt's a cool, Friday afternoon and I am feeling rather bad: I am no longer unable to comment on my favourite blogs at work. Not that it distracts or anything, as most of the time, I sacrifice my lunchtimes to do commenting and whatnot. The truth of the matter

Happy Independence Day (March 6 1957-March 6 2010)!

My March Mission: Monitoring Ghana Police on Twitter

I have been tweeting a lot for the past week. For some strange reason (or maybe not so!) my growing affection for Google Buzz has probably taken me in that direction as twitter feeds into Google Buzz "status". Whatever the case may be, I thought March--the first day falling
