How Kenyan female blogs differ from Tanzanian blogs

Having read four Kenyan blogs, Savy Kenya, Kawi Snippets,  Blessed, Amusing and Genius as well as  She blossoms, three differences were obvious.

One big difference is in the use ‘linking feature’ which is used to create a network with other blogs and websites. Whereas most of Tanzanian blogs are linked to other blogs, Kenyan women’s blogs are not linked and most often stand on their own.  This in a way limits Kenyan blogs expansion because the best way to advertise a blog is by linking to other blogs.

Furthermore, most Kenyan women blogs contain original composition in terms of short articles, based on authors’ experience.  On the other hand, Tanzanian blogs mostly contain plagiarised materials from news organisation and other established blogs such as Michuzi’s and Millard Ayo Website.


Another obvious difference is on language used. Most Tanzanian blogs are in Kiswahili while Kenyan women blogs are mostly in English.
