Beyond Survival in a School Library · With a little help from my friends
Beyond Survival in a School Library 
This just cracks me up. Back in 2009, I wrote about a guy in Monrovia, Liberia, who was “Blogging” in the very same way – pulling news of the world together and posting it in a Kiosk on Broad Street. In the comment section, a fellow said something like, “Well, it won’t be long before Google will be wanting some ad space.” Looks to me like they picked up on the whole story line. It tickles me to know that the same dynamic appeared in another part of Africa. I suspect it’s more and more common.
You can see a photo of the Liberian version here. Scroll to the very end of the post to see Alfred’s photo in front of his kiosk. I think I may rework this and repost it.
I think this is an incredible little bit of video. Even as an ad for google. Interesting previous comment as well.
