Hmm, apart from working with Wasamundi, I also work with Pulse as Product Engineer and other projects. To this effect, I had to work relentlessly in order to meet up and I spend less time for leisure.
Pulse is a web/mobile based online student platform aimed at connecting African universities, professors to their students. In order words, we trying to make African education look cool, Pulse will provide a platform where any University can own and operate its own high-end online students services at a low cost, without having to deploy any technical infrastructure, it will permit lecturers to communicate faster and cheaper with their students and lastly it will enable students to receive updates from their teachers and classmates through sms, web and email. We are building only for these category of universities and of course we taking into consideration the realities of African users, that means for us, that our platform will be centered around the mobile experience.Pulse is currently on beta and we plan to deploy and test Pulse this year in a University.
I hope this year would also be a successful one and I pray for more leisure time. Amen :)

Last year: 2011
2011 was a stressful and remarkable one for me. As an entrepreneur (Co-founder of Wasamundi) and tech geek I learned many new things and gain great satisfactions.
Feb 13, 2011 Wasamundi went public, a venue that helps you discover, share, rate, talk about and add pictures for your favorite businesses, products, services, people and places in Cameroon. Wasamundi literally means 'Search Earth' or 'Find the World' .... I use 'Mother Earth' for certain cases.
Nara Laurence and I work relentlessly to see this come true. We needed to help people find things in towns of Cameroon and Africa, but I would say "Wasamundi --- (Mother Earth) is a constantly changing idea" .
Some months later, Eta Palace Hotel found in Buea and many other businesses started using their page on Wasamundi as their website as seen on Up Station Mountain Club with extremely long URLs (ctrl + f --- Eta Palace on this page). Couple with other reasons, WasaME the first Cameroonian URL Shortener was born on June 15, 2011. It aims to provide businesses on wasamundi with a Unique web ID which shall be better than a phone number and a customized website for all businesses in Cameroon. We shall experience the rolled out of the customize websites this year (2012).
With all this, we decided to divert into one of the reasons that made us start Wasamundi, this time Hamlet Tandi, Lafon Leslie , Shu Absalom, Teghen Victor and Hugues Leandre Tchassa joined Wasamundi on the quest, then WasaHOSTEL was rolled out to the public on November 13, 2011.
All along, we were concentrating on businesses, we decided to venture into the people part of Wasamundi and bridge that gap between users and businesses, online and offline etc This resulted to the birth of the Transcript and WasaTEXTO on December 20, 2011.
The transcript brings all your activities on Wasamundi and its related apps to life.
You can now,
WasaTEXTO is a bulk SMS platform enabling you to reach your family, friends, customers and everyone else via SMS anywhere they are.
