London, UK (PRWEB) May 2, 2007 -- Afriville.com, an online community of Africans at home and in diaspora, has recently been rebuilt to further bridge the gap between individual African nations and Africans abroad whether African American, black British or African Latino. The new tools are designed to bring the community even closer together. The site's content and forums are bound to perk your interest, no matter your individual tastes. Afriville.com forums is becoming the place for the continents budding young minds where leaders of tomorrow discuss issues in all arenas of African life.

The Afriville.com team has formed a new approach to "bridging the gap" between the different factions of Africans. Integration through segregation they call it. After testing several ways of creating a truly pan African site they are confident with the results.

"Extensive tests have shown that to become relevant in all the regions we hope to attract we need to have a degree of segregation within the site for users of that region. We are currently deploying for Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, UK and the USA," answered Nnamdi Ogbechie when asked about how the system worked.

Many new features have been added to the social network, including expanded forum discussions covering a wide range of topics, an African video sharing platform for videos from the African continent. All the latest music videos can be found on the site as well as long lost videos.

"The Community has really been great in helping develop the site. Everyone has been really receptive and have offered help on growing the site. The new design gives our users a better experience overall," says Nnamdi Ogbechie the spokes person for Afriville.com.

The site continues to be a leader in developing tools for the African continent and bringing out ground breaking tools for communication. We can only wait to see what they come up with next.
