Please send reviews and comments on this great site. There will be more coming soon about this gorgeous cyber link to myths, legends and heroes from traditional Africa.
Hello. My name is Patrick Gorham. I am the director and editor of AfricaWrites: Heroes, Rituals & Legends (http://www.africawrites.com). U Go Trade represents a great opportunity to share ideas and experiences on the uses of technology by people in Africa as well as other places in the world where ancient traditions meld and shape with new ones. Each update, Africawrites.com features interactive online stories and content that takes viewers of the website on a virtual journey across the deepest interiors of the African continent to rediscover the mysteries, legends and wonder of the African world. It is the continuing mission of AfricaWrites to inspire, uplift and educate viewers about traditional African culture. We hope to give people a sense of real heroes, fascination in those wonders those yet undiscovered, and to bring back those myths and legends thought forever lost to the pages of history.
On behalf of the staff of AfricaWrites, I invite you to experience our most recent update of AfricaWrites.com, "Rites of the Swordsmen". Our featured stories in this update include,"Yendyegourdji, Way of the Warrior", "Tartit, Sword Dance of the Tuareg" and "The Baa Tolon Don".

Ugonet.org is a free video/photo sharing site and social network for off the grid folks, social entrepreneurs, digital pioneers, traveler activists, anthropologists (pseudo or not), media makers - photographers, film makers, artists, and musicians world wide. Ugonet will be an online hub - a tool, knowledge base, showcase, and meeting place for everyone interested in finding new ways to connect across digital and economic divides - an inside look at positive global development, a place to imagine change where your vision counts.
UGOTRADE
Ugotrade will be a global internet reality show - an off beat cross between, "The Apprentice," and The Discovery Channel's, "Going Tribal." Ugotrade will bring on grid folks - innovative technologists, social entrepreneurs, bloggers, broadband video pioneers, and other www2 stars - together with off grid pioneers as they reinvent global trading from the back of a yak, a canoe on the Amazon, and a houseboat in New Orleans.
Ugotrade's aim is to evolve Dr Yunus' Nobel Prize winning model of micro lending into investment in local wireless communications.

Ugotrade will bring visibility to off grid communities. Social entrepreneurs from all over the world, and the gurus of the so called digital democracy - broad band video pioneers, bloggers, rockstarinternet marketers, celebrities of online social media - will come together with off-grid entrepreneurs in pioneering projects.
