Looks like Web Africa did very well in the latest MyBroadband survey.

Greplin, a company making waves for "tackling the other half of search", launched a competition to redesign wikipedia's search experience: "everything from the behaviors on the search page, to the layout of content, to the details of typography, color, animations. Today, many people use Google to search Wikipedia, but imagine a whole new experience that makes using Google to search Wikipedia feel outdated."
ANCYL.org.za must probably be the most frequently hacked site in South Africa, and every time it happens everyone has a huge laugh and celebrate like they just blew up the Death Star and it's party time in The Republic. I on the other hand get chills down my spine.
All this talk of DStv‘s BoxOffice has got me thinking. More specifically, thinking about the future of television, which all...
Just as I posted on LivingSocial.com coming into South Africa, we now have Facebook Deals making its entrance. If anyone thought the social buying landscape was going to be shaken up by Groupon, it seems it is only now becoming of age.
Technologically FNB really has no equal in the South African banking space. They have an excellent internet banking platform (integrated with share trading and investment platforms), they offer several innovative mainstream products like card-less withdrawals and cellphone transfers, their use of Twitter is unparalleled (check out @RBJacobs), they have (mostly) figured out how OTP's should work, they provide the only PayPal service in SA and they even operate as a VASP providing ADSL and VOIP services through FNBConnect. The list continues...
Count us fooled. A few days ago Facebook did a seamingly normal little update to its iPhone app - only to have Techcrunch figure out that it contains the secret iPad version of the Facebook app. A while back Mark Zuckerburg said they will not build an iPad app, because it is not a "mobile device". Despite recent mumblings of Facebook switching its focus to HTML5 only development (Project Spartan), it looks the FB developers have indeed been very busy with a great looking new Facebook for iPad app.
In “The Gunstringerâ€, you control a fiery gun-toting marionette through his adventures, combining solo platforming and shooting mechanics into fun, competitive action with a full suite of collectables, unlockables, abilities, rewards and more.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v (also known as the P7100) is a piece of hardware with an unfortunate story behind it. That little extra "v" means that this Vodafone exclusive differs from the Galaxy Tab 10.1 that will start appearing on South African shelves in the next month or two. Will you be worse off with the 10.1v than the retooled, sleeker 10.1?
It's been a long day, and you finally decide to just zone out in front of the television and unwind. You start with your favourite channels and then proceed to lesser favourites in the hope of catching something that you find mildly entertaining.
It sure is great to see some well known SA brand names in the App-space - those of you sporting smartphones might already be using News24. I personally use the app every single day, and it is currently available on iPhone, iPad, Android, Blackberry and the Nokia Ovi store.. So if you have not gotten round to download the News24 app, head to your relevant appstore.
Apparently the News24 iPad app has taken off very quickly with South African iPad users:
Right folks, just when you thought the group buying industry in South Africa had a clear path till the end...
