    I remember when Elmendorp did the story on Safaricom. That was the first story I heard of his, and I love getting the chance to listen to any of his other stories on the African regions.
    Great work Ruud!!

    Such a different culture. Sending money around instead of having your own money.

    Excellent use of a “Token Authentication” idea - Not valid before X, not valid after X PIN. How empowering for folks in rural areas. An idea that Banks in other parts of the world might consider. . . . . . .

    I enjoyed the way the C.E.O. couched his remarks, as if he were acting from altruism - as if. And, how he said that one uses the system or is left behind as though they’re mutually exclusive. He wishes they were! It’s a great idea probably done for the wrong reasons.

  13. Really important subject, great product.

    But rather than a couple of minutes of generic publicity pics and no content, you could have used the same time to deliver 1,000 words of knowledgey goodness, which I could have read quicker. It’s a great example of how the real content in video is always the soundtrack, which is absent. First time here, never again I think; typical halfarsed Webtoo hipster crap.

    ok this story is actually real. a long time ago two girls were playing outside and one girl noticed a hole near where they were playing. the other girl came and “accidently” pushed the other girl in the hole and it was like really really deep. nobody bothered even going down there to help her so the girl stayed in the hole until her death. the girl found out nobody cared about her so she wanted reveng send this to 6 videoes or you will hear her scream and then shell kill you
