Here are three posts that I’d recommend for your reading today:

Erik Hersman opens up a discussion on building of mobile apps in Africa, offering his thoughts on what people should know when considering building mobile phone services or produts in Africa. You are encouraged to contribute! Ken Banks also had an excellent article on this topic any serious mobile app developer should read.

It has been an eventful year in tech and Appfrica has a great editorial round-up of the Top Ten events in 2008 that defined this year in African technology. Read what you missed out on or recount the most memorable, including Ushahidi and Obama’s use of technology.

Lastly, GigaOm has some eye-candy showing the globalization of the internet through deployment of fibre optic networks.
