Virtual fun seeps into the real world and how much fun it was …

Last night 20 or so Twitter and real-life friends met up for a Tweet-up in Cape Town. Some folks we knew, some we met for the first time. It was incredible putting real faces to the virtual responses we usually receive. And guess what, as geeky as most of us are, it was a fun [...]

Six months in review …

Okay so it’s been more than six months, but lots has transpired. Yes, I said “transpired“. Using the word “happened” feels insignificant at least.

Missed the Silicon Cape launch, but not really, thanks to Twitter….

Last week was filled with coughing, wheezing and a whole lot of ‘no voice’, yet I was still determined to be present at the launch of Silicon Cape last week. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be, and even as I drove myself to the hospital, all I kept thinking of was how much I [...]

Oh how I love thee, social networking…

I spend lots of time online, Tweeting, blogging, updating and connecting with my Facebook friends but I also spend time offline. The aspect I love the most about connecting online with others, is the ability to connect with like-minded individuals and anytime, day or night.
Freedom of expression is personified when we enter the social networking [...]
