The site, in 2006
A national English-language newspaper in Rwanda, published in Kigali, with The Sunday Times as its Sunday sister paper.
It was set up in 1995, soon after the genocide against the Tutsi, as Rwanda's first English-language paper. Its online edition launched in 2006.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
