Are you familiar with Ambasel?
Well, I really dig what the site is doing. Ambasel (www.abasel.com) is a networking site for Ethiopian bloggers. And it’s a live, feeding through the RSS of an author. It’s organized with author’s names as well as site names. For example, in my name you can find the list of articles I have posted on Bernos. It says 16 articles; this make it 17.
On the top you should find the latest two articles. This article should be up there for a little while. I like the most recently posted articles list. This is where I check out what is going on.
You can also see the stats of all authors in the network. There are 102 Ethiopian authors and about 845 posts from these authors. If you are looking for a specific subject check out the Tag Cloud. Posts are categorized by subjects and or categories.
So I just wanted to thank the person behind Ambasel for making this network available. This way we can find those Ethiopian bloggers whose website link population is not that much.
Oh I forgot, there is a Flikr network as well.

The Pente Church is recruiting young Ethiopians unlike the Orthodox Church. Mezmur & Hip Hop! what's next?
Its been a while since I went to a Pente wedding. I find it very very boring. No music, I mean no good music, only Machebcheb with some singing.
A lot of Pente people are getting married. I hear men in their forties are settling down with young girls in their early twenties. From what I hear, the pastor hooks them up and Sunday contributions play a major role. Fifty dollars a week will get you the youngest most prettiest girl. Young girls will do whatever the pastor asks.
Ok ok, this is actually a joke in DC., but there is truth in every joke. Aydel?
Enjoy the Hip Hop Mezmur! Especially the part that says "the lord says yo man that is my son, you better take a hick!"
