Happy Easter in Arrears people. One of the things I'm focusing on in this post is our Naija versions of facebook.
I don't know if any of you remember the post I had on Naija5? As the name states, it is Nigeria's version of Hi5 - or, well, supposed to be.
As I pondered over this url for a minute, I thought whether they had an actual version of facebook i.e. Nigbook. I typed the url very slowly into my address bar - hoping, praying that this was not the case. I almost jumped for joy when I got this back - Nigbook result.
Sheesh must there be Nig everything? Nigbay (as in Ebay), Nig this, Nig that....
Anyway back to the social networking sites, I have recently discovered the following:
Central Station NG - Celtel's own version of facebook (dont ask!) but like every other money making sensible business, they've added a few extras like downloading music and ringtones, winning free tickets, etc.
Legwork.com.ng - Another meeting place for Nigerians (looks more like a shopping/dating/forum site) is expanding fast and was started by a young entrepreneur.
naNaija - An interesting one, I think its brand new, worth checking out.
Speaking of Facebook, a major vulnerability in the Facebook web security caused pictures of Paris Hilton to be leaked as well as private pictures posted by Mark Zuckerberg (Fbk creater) - more on the story here.
