[kictanet] Why Kenyan's do it better

[John Gitau]

I think its more of 'maximize on what you have' at your disposal, dont over think things....just work with what works...that sort of thinking is pushed by scarcity, in nairobi we tend to have fancier phones so we develop for those...at shags...sms and maybe wap works wonders...
