The Joburg Connection (Part I)
October 3rd, 2005 | by ka edong |Within a few days, I’ll be connecting with Johannesburg in South Africa. Let me tell you about my three degrees of connection with Johannesburg.
First degree of connection: Web blog to Joburg
One reason I’m going to Johannesburg is because of my consultancy blog, Mobile Tulay .
Around June of this year, I received an email from a gentleman at the World Bank. He got word of the work that I did in m-commerce for microfinance. He found me through my blog! As I’ve said before, it’s amazing how blogging has opened doors for me.
I made my m-commerce for microfinance study available through my blog. As a result, I’ve been interviewed by a handful of people all over the world. And I’ve been invited to go to Johannesburg (fondly known as Joburg). From web blog to Joburg.
My second degree: connecting with collegues to connect the masses

cool!
That is really much better than anything else — you really do earn from blogging in many ways than money — like free trips and good friends.
