Lets face it, we all have those tasks in life that we with we did more often- “I should really blog more”, is one of mine (hence this blog post). Sometimes, we have surges of motivation in which we begin our good habit-forming tasks, only to forget about them a few moments later.

Is DrawSomething a new approach to gathering Big Data?
Data is fast becoming the hot commodity in today’s society. What do we know about our customers? How can we use our customer’s habits and trends to make our product better?

If This, Then That- put the internet to work for you
“If this, then that” is a common logic step in programming. Most programmers see this on a regular basis, right from when they start out. It feels comfortable… familiar.

Tumblr is the next big thing
Tumblr, the popular blogging software, is a hosted blogging service that enables users to post notes, audio, video, photographs, quotes, links and conversations all in one place.

Prophets preach at NetProphet ’09
OK, not real prophets… and not really preaching either. Either way, before I start, let me some up my experience of NetProphet ’09 in a single word: awesome! NetProphet 2009, for those who don’t know (or those South Africans who’ve been living under a digital rock for the past few weeks) is a conference thatContinue reading “Prophets preach at NetProphet ’09”

Prank your friends on Zoopy’s “Framed”
OK, so April is coming to a close. That doesn’t mean that April Fools has to end. I think the team at Zoopy would agree. Earlier today, the team at Zoopy.com, a South African social media community, launched a new campaign called “Framed“. This campaign enables users to prank their friends, neighbours, family or randomContinue reading “Prank your friends on Zoopy’s “Framed””
