Somali Blogs Facebook Page


How many Somali bloggers do you think are out there? I'm not talking about blogs where users post/reblog pictures, but actual blogs where users actually write, whether it be a short poem or several paragraphs. A few thousand? A few hundred?

Let's admit it, if you were to count all the bloggers in the world and sort them by nationality/ethnicity, Somalis would probably be among the least, if not the least! We have so many people scattered around the globe, but yet so few bloggers. Why?

Blogging is an excellent and powerful tool that can be used for several reasons, from keeping in touch with family and friends, to promoting your ideas or a business. While a person can do that with Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook or the next big social networking site that comes along, blogging gives gives you your own piece of the internet; a website you can call your own, and best of all it's free. Through blogging and sharing your thoughts and ideas, you have the opportunity to meet amazing people from around the world.

That is why we've decided to create a Facebook page for the blog in an attempt to reach a wider audience and hopefully attract more Somali youth to start creating their own blogs. There are many good writers out there posting stories, notes and poems on social networks, and we hope that some of them will be attracted to the idea of blogging. Without a doubt many people will be exposed to the Somali blogs listed here with the help of the page, but only time will tell how many people start creating their own blogs.

From time to time, we'll also do a blog roundup and promote interesting or useful posts from the blogs and post them both here and on the Facebook page.

For now, we ask you guys to join the page and promote it as much as you can. Here's to hoping this works out and more people take up blogging...

Salaamu Alaykum,

Ok so i created a blog which i then neglected lol and the result was what could only be described as the dryest blog ever.Probably because i stopped reading blogs and i guess anything else that people had written and as you do got caught up with life.

Then one day i remembered i had a blog like 'yikes,what happened with that'.Now seeing that Somalis a are blogging its a real motivation,good stuff!

My thus-far-dry but ready-to-roll blog is:

http://youreaveragegirl.blogspot.co.uk/
Since it isnt fully fledged it may provide a little intro,though i have changed my views somewhat since then cant wait to read blogs of others inshaa'Allah.

Dayaxa Muslimah
