Who are more dumb :#Kenyansontwitter vs #Kenyansonfacebook

Kenyans on twitter are an interesting lot,101 % of Kenyans on twitter have a Facebook account but they love to hate on their #mkz brothers.The term/acronym which stands for 'Mukuru kwa Zuckerberg' itself is a raw indication of the distaste to which Kenyan tweeps have for Facebook.An interesting definition on urban dictionary    goes like "The term originates from a nomenclature used to give names to many slums in Kenya, for example, "Mukuru Kwa Jenga" slum located in Nairobi. The term uses the name of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and is a derogatory way of referring to Facebook as a slum full of backdated and out-of-style people who on most occasions don't have the slightest idea of what's going on in the urban Internet world of Twitter, or the Internet for that matter".

The beef was revived this week with #IKnowTheyAreFromMKZ. Reading your tweets,someone would think #mkz  is one of the largest homes for the idiots of this world,which surprisingly is partially true.A study by Pew Internet which focussed on educational distribution for social network platforms found that Twitter users are likely to be better educated than Facebook fans.

 Anyway,as we always say and keep saying "Its never that serious",we love you #Mkz brothers (we know you will never get an avenue to get back at us,they don't even have the remotest idea that anything happened,they are just a bunch of people whining or gloating about their relationships and tagging people in stupid photos).Here is the fun...Trend roundup;
