So, I just logged in to my Twitter account via the web interface and saw a notice mentioning a new “Lists” feature that Twitter have just launched. The notice read: “New! Lists. A great way to organize the people you follow and discover new and interesting accounts. (BETA) Lists are timelines you build yourself, consisting of friends, family, co-workers, […]

Tumblr is the next big thing
20th July, 2009 – 11:56 am
Tumblr, the popular blogging software, is a hosted blogging service that enables users to post notes, audio, video, photographs, quotes, links and conversations all in one place. Not a full blogging system like WordPress or MovableType and not a micro-blogging service like Twitter, Tumblr is, I believe, a middle-ground between the two. I believe this to be the next big thing. […]
Do you use Twitter’s “Favourites”?
2nd June, 2009 – 10:00 am
I do. The main question is, how do you use the feature? Also, where do your favourites go, and can other users view them? For those unfamiliar with the feature, it allows Twitter users to mark a tweet as a “favourite” for viewing at a later stage… kind of like an archive.
Prophets preach at NetProphet ’09
14th May, 2009 – 6:24 pm
OK, not real prophets… and not really preaching either. Either way, before I start, let me some up my experience of NetProphet ’09 in a single word: awesome! NetProphet 2009, for those who don’t know (or those South Africans who’ve been living under a digital rock for the past few weeks) is a conference that was held today for the […]

Prank your friends on Zoopy’s “Framed”
29th April, 2009 – 2:21 pm
OK, so April is coming to a close. That doesn’t mean that April Fools has to end. I think the team at Zoopy would agree. Earlier today, the team at Zoopy.com, a South African social media community, launched a new campaign called “Framed”. This campaign enables users to prank their friends, neighbours, family or random strangers (be nice) and upload […]

25th April, 2009 – 3:32 pm
“Africa’s talking, are you?” — the Afrigator slogan, the company that has (a few minutes ago) released it’s new product, Gatorpeeps, an African micro-blogging platform similar to Twitter. Gatorpeeps has some really nifty features, including hashtag (#) communities, allowing easy categorising of “peeps” (“tweets” on Gatorpeeps) as well as streamlined searching on various topics through […]
Do non-personal Twitter streams work?
13th April, 2009 – 10:12 am
Is it not going against the core purpose of Twitter to use the service as a group account (for example, an account for one’s company)? Does it really achieve the return that the company is looking for in terms of interacting with their market? Do Twitter users catch on to this and not interact with the […]
