Sturvs as a name I find really interesting, and I also like the product. Its hard to forget the name, thats why it works.

What is it: Sturvs is social bookmarking service for Nigerians. It turns out

“sturvs” is a nigerian slang for “stuff”. So basically this is just a place for you to view and share all your internet stuff.

Sturvs.com is a Nigerian web 2.0 sharing and voting website where users can share music, videos, articles, read news and also promote events and services. Sturvs can be used to share and also to store your web resources. If you find a really funny video you want your friends (and the rest of the Sturvs community) to see, all you have to do is post it on the website and watch it rise to the front page of Sturvs. You can also email existing “sturvs” to your friends and save them to your web bookmarks.

The design is Ok, but i personally didn’t fall in love with it. The idea of the site rocks, as long as you are Nigerian or marketing Nigerian content.

In terms of growth and prospects, I suspect Sturvs is in a very good position. Nigerian web 2.0 is growing, and they have a solid product.
