HOW DO YOU FIND FOKO BLOGGERS ON TWITTER?
You start with Tahina, the one who is using his Zain mobile phone account to update his status when waiting for the bus : http://twitter.com/r1lita; Tahina is close friend with Ariniaina : http://twitter.com/arininaina; who went reporting on the latest events in Tananarive with Andry : http://twitter.com/dadandry; but you can also find pictures on Moonlight’s blog http://twitter.com/Moonlightgirl; who is promoting English with Patrick from Tamatave : http://twitter.com/layshiyuut; who knows Solofo from Antsirabe http://twitter.com/raslmetal; when going south from Antsirabe you land in Fianarantsoa meeting Jaona http://twitter.com/jelona; who needs your active support to train excellent bloggers like Koloina http://twitter.com/gasycool and become a serious journalist like Lomelle http://twitter.com/as2coeur.
We have been praising, for a little while now, the activism and passion at the Foko Blog Club with very little implications from the coordinators but we still enjoy reading your comments (please!). From the workshops held in 2008, many blogs are still regularly updated thanks to the commitment and very needed support from each bloggers. Lomelle who started to blog in Majunga with the School of Journalism, Rondro and Diana were from the same excellent background (and we all know about their social activism!) helped the bloggers left in Majunga to resume their Citizen Journalism activities. Antsaa is now publishing news from a deserving region when lot happen but very little is reported. When she is not actively corresponding with each one of us or everyone at the same time, she gives her time to train new bloggers and introduces them to the community. Now she is one of the active Foko Twitterers who are using this platform to inform us but also …. find new friends online!

Cool
This is how Andry and I co-worked. Andry goes and follow the events and he phones me to report every thing he saw while I am twittering all the information.
All of this for our Citizen media
Twitter is really handy when you are not inspired lol that’s why I like it plus you can tweet from your mobile
(a bit costy but it’s so cool)
You are all doing an amazing job keeping the rest of the world informed. Stay safe!

i love to Twitter my day to day activities to my friends and followers. Twitter is much better than blogging because it is direct to the point and does not require you to type so many unnecessary words.
