Social media's almost dead so let's move on to mobile. Presenting Mobile Web Africa.OK, so social media isn't almost dead but the fact remains that mobile is the now, new, next best thing. In fact, it's not even the next best thing.

Captivate conference here I come

This long weekend is going to be a great one. I am getting out of Joburg which is phenomenal.Grahamstown is my second home as many of you readers will know. I went to Rhodes and loved it, I still love it in fact, but going back after you have graduated can be an odd experience. But I am looking forward to it nonetheless.I will be doing a presentation at the conference. I like to make waves, we all know that. I don't think that this will be too overboard but I am sure that many people will disagree with me. Those will be the people who have misinterpreted me.Hopefully the conference will be successful and there will be a reason to live blog it. If it isn't then I wont be live blogging but will be blogging from the big Gspot and maybe even the pat and rarrot, I mean rat and parrot. Wow I'm not even there yet and I think I'm pissed.I'll catch you all on the flip flop, Oh and for more blogging from Captivate I think you might be able to check out Groogle and Ritz.
