Top searches across the board turned out to be: Yahoo, Facebook and Obama.
Some more interesting search insights on the internets from a few representative samples in Sub-Saharan Africa:
Mapping the convoluted roadways that are many African cities is no easy feat so I think this is quite impressive:
Nigerian information and technology experts in the UK developed an online interactive street finder for Lagos in Nigeria. The UK based Nigerian experts who worked on several Google Maps and software development programmes established the online street finder website, which allows users to search any street or business in Lagos.
Mr. Ireti Ajala, initiator of the project and map and GIS specialist in the UK, said that MapNTL.com can show the precise location of over 50 000 businesses in Lagos. He noted that the database contained over 400 000 routable Lagos digital streets, measuring over 5 400km in length equivalent to more than two-thirds of the earth’s equatorial radius.
However, the website itself has quite a few ad banners that make it slightly distracting when using the app. It would also be neat to be able to print off maps and directions straight from the application.
A commendable effort, nonetheless.
