The World Cup is a great excuse to have conversations with people we wouldn’t have otherwise. I think that’s a major component of it’s success – it’s a rich form of social currency. That understanding is fundamental to any W.O.M. campaign.?
In what ways can we get the S.A. web ready for 2010

in what way can we get the Web ready for 2010…. If a business has a website already… Look at business then look at your website. Ask the following question: Does your website create the same impression your other business communication materials do to your customer?
If the answer is NO, we’ll be happy to help.
If the answer is YES, will it still be in 2010?

I agree. A good online infrastructure will give an extra boost to S.A. business and help us make the most of the Worldwide Attention we’ll be getting.

we’ll = we will. Me thinks it should be we’re = we are. They’re already watching.

I learnt a LOT from the final match last night :: that EQ has to be worked on, for passionate heroes your temper can be your downfall at the very last minute.
That I’m putting Italy on my travel wishlist immediately – festivities within a country already known for its festive spirit (mm.. and magnificent men)
oh yes>> and we need to put this one on our list of to-do’s : plz reschedule 2010 meeting in South Africa for summer (freeezing Jo’burg & rainy CapeTown will not make for merriment)

RSS actually sucks – Atom is much, much nicer. It’s much better standardised, constantly under development and offers many more features. Personally I hope RSS will die and let Atom rule the world.
