Afraha, a new social network from kenya
Afraha is a social network that has recently been launched from Kenya. It joins a number of other African startups in this space such as Nigeria’s Naijapals and South Africa’s Blueworld amongst others. The registration on the site is quick and simple and you cant help but be reminded of Facebook while using the site. They have taken a lot of inspiration from Facebook’s user interface. Afraha has been launched with features like status updates, activity streams, photo albums, chat, a personal calender of events, groups and messaging.
The feature list is pretty impressive for a newly launched Social network. There are a few features however that set it apart, You can run personal polls and they also have a map that displays where your friends are. Right now it seems to only point to the location used when signing up, however with a little modification and a mobile client they could start offering mobile social networking that is based around locations.
P.S Thanks to a Nairobian perspective for the tip
