Afrigator: Are You Listening?

Afrigator is one of several African blog aggregators which collects and displays web pages, blog posts and more from all over the continent in one aesthetically gorgeous package.

As shown here on the home page, the top 20 tags and searches are displayed; articles are categorized by date and country channels, including a five-star ranking system, and a link to add the particular article to Muti, an African social bookmarking site. There is even an option to add the link to MyGator (with OpenID support!), a personal page with collected posts you’ve saved, as well as the ability to add a tracking code to your blog so posts you create are automatically listed on Afrigator.

Afrigator specifically pulls content from African blogs, so you can find a large and varied amount of information directly from people on the continent in any country throughout the diaspora. RSS feeds are even available for the front page of the site and for any country’s channel.

Afrigator was created by South African web professionals Justin Hartman, Mike Stopforth and Mark Forrester, and is currently in the alpha stage of development. Afrigator.com is currently on Business 2.0’s “It’s A Web, Web, Web 2.0 World” — which lists the 31 hottest non-US startups — at #20.
