The heading means
"I feel lucky" in Ghana's biggest local language Twi. And that is just how I felt stumbling across
Google Twi Kasa - Google in Twi!
I mean, it isn't strange, its the first language of 40 percent of Ghanaians, which translates into some 10 million people. For some perspective that's more people than the whole Swedish population!
In the official statistics Internet users in Ghana are still few, but on the street in Accra and other bigger cities there are many Internet cafes (most successful is
this one), information technology courses are popular and social networking sites for Ghanaians keep
springing up.
Some hope Ghana will follow in India's footsteps and become an IT-economy. Well, then this is a definite first step.
