In the papers



You remember when I was saying that I had to meet some unknown people for an interview. It was in fact an interview for the Mauritian newspaper, Le Mauricien. The article is about blogging in Mauritius, how it is done, its purpose, advantages, etc... This article involved mostly me, Jevin, Keli and the mysterious founder of the Mauritian Blog Brethren. It was fun to give the interview and thrilling to see its result today.

I'm not going to pretend I'm a star and be all pretentious suddenly. It could have been anyone out there. I was just lucky enough to have been contacted.




The article is in French and for further details you can check out GeekScribes who were the first to notice it (thanks Inf for letting us know :D) or this thread on the MBB forum where Jess has posted a transcript of the article or the Media Guru's post on the article.

P.S: My picture turned out to be really horrible but I'm not complaining. Really! :D So long dudettes and dudes and my excited aliens. A horror movie is calling me.
