Tech Weekly… Yoza, Airtel MD, Techno Boom

Someone asked me what happened to my tech blogs that offered insights, reviews and in depth analysis and I had no good answer. I was quiet as they looked at me, expecting an answer which never came, until another person rescued me from the awkwardness.

Because I had no answer, the guilt built up in me, dug its way to my thinking tank and an idea was born. A come back was created for the tech blogs and a solution to the awkward questions was found.

I have created a new theme to host my Weekly Tech reviews calle Tech Weekly . It host all my tech reviews and insights of news, ideas and anything that falls in that category, that would have happened in the week. I will be posting every Sunday, summarising all that caught my eye in the week.

Hope that someone will be happy about this new development and all the others that missed my tech blogs…

Last week in Tech;

Ugandan startup Yoza was selected for 1776 Challenge Cup People’s Choice Award. I know we have heard or know about this women empowering app that helps us find a laundry lady or a dry cleaner for our clothes. Now there are 3,000 applications 70 startups that were selected to compete for cash prizes and funding at the Global Finals that will take place in June 2016 in Washington, D.C. To vote for Yoza as the People’s Choice Startup visit this link. Voting ends 11th May 2016.

Airtel Uganda got a new Managing Director, his name is Anwar Soussa and starts effective work on 1st June 2016. He is from Chad where he had been MD since 1st May 2015. I will miss the French man Mr.Tom Gutjahr who is a guitar player that I had grown to like since the #AirtelMDBreakfast. Family and home comes first so off to Algeria  Tom goes.

Dignited’s Odeke reviewed the Techno Boom J8 and made me want to change my loyalties to Samsung. Read his review here, you should know he did a good job at breaking down functionality and specifics but what we all like to know picture quality and battery life.

And MTN introduced what it called Kazi and Combo bundles for business – Combines Data, Voice and SMS but we all know we are no-longer using SMS that much… read more about this here

That is all from me, from last week hope you will enjoy this section.

Ohh was going to write add Uber but I guess we already know it is here, here in Kampala rigth?
