Hat’s off to you and what you do to promote South Africa and the continent as a whole. However, having the same name as you does have both advanatges and disadvantages, especially since we are of a similar age group. From one entrepenuer to another, carry on the great work!

you know about these guys probably ?
http://gettingreal.37signals.com/
& their get real philosophy.

would like to see more of this simplicity pervading software solutions, where possible.
Get some elegance into the equation.

Lose the blah-blah wada-wada tech-noise that
has been introduced with gawky Windows programming etc.

The software equivalent of a google search page…
no flashing adverts,
no irrelevant content screaming for your attention…
eye-pleasing white-page ethos..

Borrow Occam’s razor…
lex parsimoniae etc

Simple. Workable. Useable.

emerging disruptive” technologies & sites are cool/wicked…
or whatever the latest tag for “awesome” is

I also like these sexy web 2.0 companies/site , of which Stumble is one:

http://www.go2web20.net/

I didn’t see uBuntu on there – tho I suppose you’re an OS – not a “2.0 site”.

Ha ha! Yeah, I found that one as well. StumbleUpon is kick ass! Never thought pressing a button could be so addictive.

Big ups for starting Ubuntu!

Hi Mark,

There is another website that also provides great “easy to read” and very well supported information. They are available in English, Spanish (Castillian and Catalan) and French for now:

If only there would be some way to use StumbleUpon with Konqueror…

Only problem is that I waste far too much time stumbling!
