So it’s a few weeks after SxSW now and I’ve been meaning to write this post for ages but haven’t had the time or energy to do so for a while now… so here it is
The last day for me was primarily about catching up with work, then preparing for the core conversation […]

A/B Testing was pretty interesting but kinda strightforward theoretically. Interesting to see how Yahoo!, eBay and LinkedIn approach testing in different ways, and some ideas around testing ideas for user interaction and design vs results. Sometimes you get results you didn’t expect, design or plan for.

So I’m at SxSW again, and really loving the vibe. Missed it last year due to a little project called Kindo, but made a point of coming this year.
I’m not really sure what it is about “South By” that makes it so cool, apart from bringing together the best people in the industry, so […]

I’m at SxSW in Austin, Texas and am wondering whether there are any other Africans here?
Ping me if you are, would love to hook up for a beverage or two

This has been a long time coming, and it feels good to finally get there, albeit with a mountain still to climb!!!
Personal reflective blog post to follow soon…
A little while ago we released an Alpha to a small group of people, to gather valuable user feedback. Thanks to those great people, we’ve had our […]

If you’re a user of Google Analytics, then you’re probably going to be getting a refreshed UI sometime soon…
Thumbs up - a massive improvement from the old version.

It’s been about a week now since the the good weather has hit London, so I think it’s time to start thinking about the next Web 2.0 / Geek BBQ. This year has seen an explosion of the innovator community in London, or at least, folks are starting to come out of the woodwork, […]

The last week or so has seen us sit with bated breath, waiting to see the reaction to the web and emerging technology conference we’re going to put together for Africans (with an African context of course). Well, we’re happy to say that the credit card test has passed, and the response has been […]

And so it begins…. We’ve started getting some really good feedback for the Tech 4 Africa conference (last check we were up to about 30 replies after a day or so of being up and emailing to an initial beta group for testing) which has totally surpassed our expectations. When the automated notification emails […]

We’ve been a long time in preparation for this, and it’s taken a huge amount of work to get to this point, but I’m happy to say that we’ve launched the site for the TECH4FRICA 2007 - Technology for Africa: A web and emerging technology conference, and we’re starting to mail the people we know […]

Just a friendly reminder, the next (Web 2.0 / Geek) BBQ is tomorrow, the 5th August, starting around 1pm.
The Webers have arrived, we’ve got enough cutlery to sink a small battleship, and I’m told to expect venison and some other tasty treats that one wouldn’t normally get from the Co-Op…
All you need to do is […]

And yet another post for e-Consultancy:

Web 2.0 needs to be agile to be successful
I’ve been dealing with a few clients of late, most of which have heard the ruckus around this newfangled Web 2.0 thing, and most of which want to do something Web 2.0 with their projects. Some want to implement blogs, others are […]

After much deliberation and discussion, the next Web 2.0 / Geek BBQ is going to be on Sat the 5th August, starting in the afternoon.
We’re going to be having a BraaiMasters this time (Braai is Saffa for BBQ) - basically a cook-off where the cooks get to cook their best dishes, then get judged by […]
