		<title>New Media.. Internet.. not the same thing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[New Media is the collection of stuff we use daily to get information to travel from Arthur to Martha. The blogs, the wikis, forums, microblogs, social networks, instant messaging and good old email. Who knows what's next. They're already laying with Augmented Reality. We could be sending telepathic email using sunglasses equipped with an IPaddress (read Intel chip-enabled) implanted in your Gucci shades 5 years from now. The internet (those networks) is merely the ENABLER of all these facets, platforms and channels that allow the transmission and now also mass storage of information (in the cloud). The internet has always just been an enabler. Nothing more. Apps are built that run on it and those applications are the new media - those ever-evolving information containers and transmitters. So new media is simply <strong>"a way to communicate"</strong> in the digital space. That simple.

		<title>Bye Suzan.. Hi Suzan..</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have read all the above-mentioned posts and they played a huge part in the extent to which I revere Suzan as a thought leader in her area of expertise. Suzan sometimes makes me think of her as Margaret Thatcher - the iron lady - when I read the iciness in her some of her tweets. She does not pull punches. She also makes me think of Cape Town-based webhead Rafiq Philips when she tweets in incomplete sentences. What I like most about her  though is that she is completely herself. Although she works in an industry that necessitates communication, conversation and interaction.. her Twitter bio makes it abundantly clear that she has no interest in "tweetups" (meetups with people she connects with on Twitter). I like that.

		<title>Make haste while the sun shines</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So these were my experiences with two companies doing the exact same thing. They sell books online. The one fundamental difference between the two though, is that the one takes ON-SCHEDULE delivery of books VERY SERIOUS and the other clearly don't give a shit, because by the time you experience the shitty part of their service offering.. they already have your money.
The lesson that I learnt here though - thanks mostly to Kalahari - is that we have become accustomed to having our needs and wants met within timeframes our parents could never have imagined. The industry of service delivery has evolved from "I do things for my convenience in my own time" to "if I can deliver this faster than the next guy - I win". Sadly, not many players have kept pace with the game. But simultaneously consumers have all evolved accordingly. We queue in supermarkets because we have to, not because we want to. If a jetpack cost the same as a taxi to work everyday.. <a href="http://www.timeslive.co.za/sundaytimes/article155130.ece" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.timeslive.co.za/sundaytimes/article155130.ece?referer=');">Mandla Gcaba</a> would be out of business tomorrow?

		<title>27 Dinner &#8211; again..</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There were a few things that really grabbed me that night. The first were the t-shirts worn by Mike Stopforth and Anice Hassim. Mike's had the Creative Commons logo on it and said "Creative Commoner".. nifty. Anice's shirt said: "I see dead pixels".. brilliant. The other thing was Anice's talk. It centred around the infinite potential held by mobile technology and how everyday tasks that we take for granted will someday be done via the interface on your handset. I captured the footage below. If you can actually hear Anice above the noise, you'll know exactly what I'm on about. I was really impressed by his insight and foresight. I hope I get to hear him do this again soon..
