Happy Thanksgiving to our American supporters
And to everyone else too, take a moment to reflect and give thanks for what you have – wherever you are. I read Noble Pigs post this morning and realised that even in the midst of a global economic melt down and other very real issues closer to home that there is always something to be thankful for…
Thanks to everyone out there who continue to support us.
USA – SA Bloggers tour
Recently I had a chat with our good mate and all round legend Matt Buckland and he was telling me about a fab event being organised by himself and Brand South Africa’s International Marketing Council (IMC), with a little help also from the great Dave Duarte.
Basically the idea is to expose some great Bloggers from the USA to the wonderful stuff we are doing online over here in deepest darkest Africa and help promote brand South Africa. The guys and girls from the states will be joined by a couple of SA’s finest and the whole journey will be documented on each individuals blog as well as them all being aggregated on www.weblogtheworld.com with some videos being kindly made by www.zoopy.com.
As a starter any local bloggers and digital citizens are invited to attend and meet up with the touring US blogger “delegation” this Sunday 8pm, at Asoka Bar in Cape Town. Space is limited so be quick and Put your name down here to attend.
The full line of peeps is listed below.
- Renee Blodgett and Ray Lewis – down the avenue

- Mona Gable – The Huffington Post
- John Gartner – Matter Network

Obama’s Presidential Victory Speech
Was so inspiring I just had to post this. His speech was made in front of 125,000 people in Chicago’s Grant Park.
We wish him all the best. What a jolly nice chap.
