The joy of the client grin…

Friday, April 6th, 2007

Yesterday (Thursday) we did a client demo of a web application we’ve developed using Seagull, where we’d imported and consolidated +- 30k customer contact details and associated records, and made it available to their whole team as a “web page”…
Suffice it to say, the team worked really hard on it, and it was really, really […]

Wednesday, December 6th, 2006

The last week or so has seen us sit with bated breath, waiting to see the reaction to the web and emerging technology conference we’re going to put together for Africans (with an African context of course). Well, we’re happy to say that the credit card test has passed, and the response has been […]

Tech 4 Africa - Creating momentum

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006

And so it begins….
Almost surprisingly, the feedback has been along the lines we were expecting:
people would be willing to go to JHB,
wanna know about stuff around web2.0 primarily,
want to hear international speakers, and
think the conference would benefit the African web community.
On top of that, we’re getting some good coverage on the blogosphere so far:
Update as […]

The value of user data

Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006

During my morning feed reading I have again been reminded about how valuble a critical mass of users can be. Flickr have launched a camera finder section on their site, which identifies what camera is used to take a digital photo. This data is extremely useful to the camera industry, flickr users and photograpers.
The “Flickr […]

The Joy of wireframing

Wednesday, November 15th, 2006

Yesterday and today I was in two meetings which were wireframe sign-off and iteration meetings, and I have to say that the work put into doing the wireframes has really paid off. Both clients are happy that their needs are being understood and met, and one client even expressed joy at having something that […]

Tech 4 Africa - Technology conference

Friday, November 3rd, 2006

With the onset of an extremely cold snap of weather on the 1st November, I am longing to go back home to soak up some rays from the hot African sun during Christmas time.
Instead we will be hard at work in a cold and gloomy London, which is really not as bad as it seems. […]

The missing business model

Thursday, October 19th, 2006

This is a slight continuation on Gareth’s earlier post on monetisation.
I happened to be reading a post by Demian at PHP Kitchen about a recent interview with Paul Graham.
Paul makes the point that you have to have a business model “eventually”. He goes on to say that it is far more important to build […]

The monetisation (revenue model) of user generated content?

Thursday, October 12th, 2006

Let’s face it shall we - no one creates something and then gives it away for free, expecting no return. I mean, as much as we’d like to do stuff and give it away for free, in the interests of making the world a better place, the unfortunate reality is that we all have to […]
