It’s been another great week for us here at the Gator Pen. We’ve got some cool new brands on Adgator (more on that later) and a new Afrigator feature to share with you.
Afrigator’s been buzzing with activity lately, with loads of tweets, pictures and blog posts being indexed. As I write this, there are currently 6520 blogs being indexed by Afrigator, and the number is climbing every day! If you know of a cool blog and you’d like to get the word out, please ask them to get their blog on Afrigator. It’s one of our goals to index every blog in Africa and spread the voice of African bloggers.
Afrigator on Brand Channel
I’ve been following Brand Channel for about the last 2 years or so. I’ve always found them to be great source of insight and information.
Recently, Brand Channel did a feature article on your favourite Gators, yup – we graced the pages this month.
Here are some of the nice things they had to say about us:
“In a world overloaded with information, Internet users are looking for solutions that offer filtering, relevancy and make sense of the tsunami of content available online. This is where Afrigator fills the gap with its intelligent content-filtering with a strong African accent.”

Afrigator goes even more mobile.
You know and we know that the future of the Internet in Africa is going be driven by mobile connectivity. With this in mind, we’re constantly developing and improving our mobile version of Afrigator so that we can provide the best experience possible.
We’ve wrapped our mobile site so that you can take a look and see what Afrigator will look like on your phone. To sneak a peak, go here:

Thing is, at the moment we mobilify your content on our mobile site. In other words, we render your content to display correctly on mobile devices. The reason for this is that it is hard for us to know if a site is or isn’t mobile ready.
