CTWUG brings blogging to the internetless

Posted on February 06, 2010 in Internet, Social Networking by Gerhard | 1 Comment » 

Blogging is the ultimate form of expressing yourself on the Internet and getting your opinion out there, yet there is still a vast amount of people without access to Internet.

CTWUG, Cape Town Wireless User Group, is a free city wide wireless network spanning across the greater Cape Town area. CTWUG offers their users access to all kinds of services for free every month like Gaming servers, VOIP, WugTube a video sharing site like YouTube and now blogging.

Some may not see this as a big deal, but I do. Currently the CTWUG network has over 130 active members where a lot of them currently does not have access to the Internet. A year or so back we started moving all our public web services over to the local network allowing these people without Internet to be able to make use of these services via local wireless traffic, this included our main website and forums, wiki, IRC chat servers as well as our image gallery.

Now the latest addition to the CTWUG website is the blog section. Users with or without Internet access are now able to write to their hearts content about any topic they would like and make it viewable to the Internet. The blogs are currently aggregated with MyScoop and Afrigator so chances are good that other people will notice it and read it. I am all for social networking and I see blogging as the seed that started social networking, thus I always urge people to start blogging if they can and have the time.

I would like to welcome all the new CTWUG bloggers and would like to urge everybody to start blogging be it about the latest games, series, gadgets or even personal experiences. Anybody can blog about anything they like or dislike.

    I agree 100%. Access to the internet has the ability to empower people from all walks of life.

    One of our motivating factors for investing in local blogging community Bundublog.com is that it empowers local entrepreneurs to get some kind of web presence and kick-start their business.
