A Web AddiCT(s); view of BarCamp Cape Town (day 1) 👐 Web AddiCT 🇿🇦

I’d like to call day 1 the “plug and Go” session. Why because some of the peoples that were there did their shameless plug & poof vanished. Yes we had other responibilities to attend to but still.

Some of the good that came out of BarCamp Cape Town’s plug & go session:

Sitting at a table surrounded by the Quirk massive & getting to shake the hand of the creator SearchStatus himself. (pics on Flickr)
Max flipping the globe upside down and getting Cape Town on top and in the middle of everything. Let me know when your schedule allows for a chat at Caffeine.
IMM2.0’s Stormhoek case study where he used the stats for illumination rather than support.

Some of the not so good that came out of BarCamp Cape Town:

One of the Quirk massive saying, “I hate SEO!” One question: Why do it if you do not enjoy it? Something I’ve picked up from everyone at Quirk is that they all love what they do.
All those people that plugged themselves and left. Can any of you reading this remember what they spoke about?

Question: What do these things all have in common? Everybody know…

Thanks, your use of quotes in a tech presentation taught me a thing or 3!

TYFYC IMM2.0 – should that not be an idea or 2.0? 😉

we don’t like SEO…. we love it !

TYFYC J9 – Caffeine, Adwords, Analytics, The Mountain, when traffic is good as long as you’re not stuck in it.

The nice thing about rush hour in Cape Town

Tis’I, the infamous non believer of SEO.
To add my 5cents – I hate Search Engines; Not the wonderful religion of SEO!!!
Sorry for the confusion. It might have been due to a lack of caffeine in our bodies.
or it might have been the noise (The sound from my laptop’s Windows bootup tune confused me). In any event glad you had a fantastic time.

I’m sad I missed Saturday 🙁
