You Can Now Use A East African Social Network To Keep In Touch

By Cornelia White


East African Social Network sites have become essential to many people in the area. From reuniting families to helping conservation efforts for the local wildlife, Africans who have access to the web are finding many different ways to utilize the idea of the social network. In a world that is growing constantly smaller due to the presence of internet information, what was once an isolated area of the globe is rapidly joining the online community.

Social networking has rapidly become a staple of most people's lives. A vast majority of the developed nations have a populace that, every morning, checks emails, inboxes, newsfeeds and comments for any number of reasons. With the growing number of people in undeveloped nations gaining access to technology comes the inevitable "internet boom" to the local economies and people.

Social networking has become a medium for advertisements and even propaganda campaigns. After logging into whichever site is being used, it is more often than not impossible to focus on one thing with all of the pop up ads and flashing banners that offer everything from "free holiday delivery" to "instant access to credit scores". One must wonder if an undeveloped nation can be informed quickly enough of the fact that most of them aren't relevant to day to day existence.

With the constant presence of violence in many African nations, families have been scattered across several nations and many hundreds of miles. It has become a medium for finding lost family members. Websites that connect people have the ability to reconnect these folks through the convenience of search features and member lists.

What would have previously taken years of time and thousands of man hours, searching through compiled lists can now be accomplished with a few quick keystrokes and searches. The time and effort saved can be used in many different ways to impact the local people positively. A family member or friend can be located quickly and easily.

Conservation agencies have also benefited greatly from the advance of such networking in recent years. Large groups have the ability to reach out to many millions of people and have taken advantage of that for many years. What about the smaller ones? Now they have the same access to the same audience, which brings added benefits to users.

Many local parks and conservation agencies have joined the growing number of social networking sites in order to promote their agendas of saving the different species and ecological habitats that are unique to Africa. From global organizations to the single individual, everyone now has the power to act in a much larger capacity.

Global communication through the use of East African Social Network websites has allowed for many advances. Users can not only connect with long lost family members and friends but can also spread their messages to a worldwide audience. As the connection grows stronger and the numbers of people online advances onward, the capability to use the information and relationships should impact people in such a way as to grow exponentially more well informed and capable.
