Kenya's top blogs

In this times, people get news from blogs and social networks, it really feels good when you get news on twitter before you see it on TV. So i decided to do a list of kenyan blogs, opinions are mine obviously.

ghafla!
This is obviously the leading entertainment website in Kenya. Talk of new videos, events and all the controversial stories in the Kenyan showbiz industry.They boast of over a million monthly unique visitors and over a eight million page views in a month. Ghafla! runs on joomla and they are doing good,not necessarily great. They rarely do exposing stories,mostly what they do is just mere reporting,which is not bad when all you are after is just profit.But they do reveal some secrets. And i heard that Radio Africa has immense interest in the site. Let`s see what happens.

nairobiwire
This according to me is the best Kenyan website.Nairobiwire is very informing!I just wish i knew the people/person behind it.These guys are really amazing. I am not very sure if this is them but i`d rather you check it for  Yourself here. The site is powered by mobstac i think from India.Nairobiwire will inform you about everything you need to know .You can live without the rest but you cant live without Nairobiwire.

jackalnews  
Bosire runs this one.If you don't know Bogonko Bosire,follow him on twitter or Facebook.I n jackal news its all about exposing and revealing.You will get the news that doesn't get to your TV. It is all about exposing.You will find stories that happen in our media houses but too shameful to report.You will know why ann ngugi was fired from k24. Bosire is a man who's got balls, he speaks his mind fearlessely.
I also heard that this man really loves his guiness,that is him.You should visit jackal if you haven't.Jackal news runs on word press.

techmtaa
If you are just coming from mars,techmtaa is all about Robert Alai. If you don't know Alai you should get out of Kenya. Techmtaa is a very good place to advertise. Let me give  you an example why,Airtel advertises in techmtaa,and not long ago Alai was tweeting nonsense about how Safaricom mistreats its workers.Now you understand why. Robert Alai is controversial and biased which is a good thing for a blogger.That is alesson i learnt from my good friend Dennis Itumbi.Techmtaa runs on word press.

kenyan-post
This wont be a good coverage. I strongly believe that the guy behind kenya-post is too idle and the only thing he could find to do is just copying stories and pasting them in his site,or he is just lazy.I rest my case.

so there you have it my good people,but there are other very good sites out there, I strongly recommend you visit dennisitumbi.com
There you will find all sorts of political news ,analysis and of course opinions,we all know Dennis Itumbi to be a jubilee die-hard, so you know the type of opinions to find there.   I'm personally inspired by Dennis Itumbi and would love to work for/with him one of these fine days .
