can promote each other's sites?

I like your web site very much because I desire for getting as much information about Africa as possible. It is a pity that it is not ready yet, especially the part about cities.

As I am graduated from Technical University, department of architecture, I'm interested in any kind of building. Now I work and part-time study ethnology, this is why I'm interested in Africa.

I will be happy to get the information from you. Thanks a lot. I live in Wrocow – it is in the south-west part of Poland. If you ever come in this part of Europe I really recommend it, because it's worth seeing.

How do you go about gathering information on what goes to make the top
twenty of whatever category? It looks like an enormous undertaking given
the paucity of positive information about africa.

Great web site but can you please clarify whether South Africa is part of
Africa or whether South African art can be categorized as African Art?
Which countries/cultures does Africa constitute and is South Africa part of
that constituency?

Another thing? Why is it important to highlight the top 20 Africans, top
100 Africans etc? What is the value of such ratings? How does a knowledge
of who is who change the image and fundamental problems of Africa?

Once again your website looks good.

Easter has given me the opportunity to look at your website as I promised myself last week but one. I am impressed most by the selection of the stories; some very informative and I learnt one or two developments relating to Africa.

Even on my European turf I hadn't a clue about the cheap HIV drugs' drive by the European Union(EU).

The underlying point here is that we need as much diversity in our sources of information, news and commentary. Another point is the effort. That you have made an investment in exploiting IT for communicating Africa is a noteworthy cause.

As you know the continent is the least web-populated of the Earth's Netizens (UNDP, 1999).The poverty of Africa is today reflected in its IT dimension as well. So carry on.

I was wondering about colonial powers in Nigeria. What countries interacted on a political and economical basis with the country.

I think the site is a great one and I am interested in knowing if you do
have a discussion board where people can discuss issues!

I believe it would be a good forum for discussing various topics with different people in Africa. It is high time that we Africans made our presence felt on the Internet Otherwise, this is a very positive site and I am glad at least some one cares about the image of Africa

Though I hail your efforts, I believe your list consists of far too many politicians (especially those
in power) and sportsmen - this strategy sells, because, the listed are widely known.

Your list contains too few who are concerned with cultural activities and cross continental activities

Once again, I can't praise your web site enough. It has most of the data an outsider would love to learn about Africa. However, I have one small gripe.

In the section of African Olympians, you only mention Gold Medal Winners. This implies that the Silver and Bronze medallists are of no consequence. Is it possible to include them?

Merci beau coup for your consideration, and once again, great site.
