Did you know the Comedy Central of Cameroon is a Facebook app? It all started when Facebook developer Mohamed Ahmed Felata recognized the growing potential of social networking in his country of Cameroon. He realized the advertiser’s wet dream of a demographic —18-34 year old males — remained largely untapped in this central West African nation. The idea arose: How better to connect an audience than with jokes? A couple of months ago he sought to answer this question with the launch the Facebook App “Kmerblagues,” which means “Cameroon Jokes” in French.
