...My
heart's in Accra : Ethan's Weblog - My blog is in
Cambridge ...
In 1994, I dropped out of graduate school and
joined a couple of friends in Williamstown, MA in
building one of the first "pure" dot.com companies
- Tripod. As the only person on the team who knew
HTML, I got to be "tech guy" - outclassed by guys
who could program circles around me, I became
bizdev guy, legal guy, customer service guy and
R&D guy before settling, briefly, on "retired
guy".
That’s Ethan Zuckerman who blogs on Africa,
Technology and Media. What I most like about Ethan is
his efforts to put African bloggers on the network of
the first world.
And by
that alone, he has added a lot to a divergent
discussion already.
