Great list, thanks for putting it together. I was a bit upset that the top 45 African female bloggers list was no longer available, but after a quick Google search found that some websites seems to have reprinted it before Afrigator went down. Here’s one link http://socialmediatoday.com/collinsom92/101636/top-african-female-bloggers-2008 in case anyone else was looking for it too.
