Who's who in the non-white Web 2.0 South African Zoo
Mandy de Waal, a freelance journalist, wrote this article on ITWeb, which I found very offensive. The main reasons I found it distasteful is the most obvious one i.e. it is simply an example of lazy journalism. She interviewed 11 people, all white, who their Web 2.0 dream team is. Maybe if she asked one non-white person she could still have made her point without having to call it a white boys club.
Anyway here’s my dream team of non-white web 2.0 or social media experts…
Khaya Dlanga: A video blogger on Youtube has over 10,000 subscribers on his Youtube channel. I first met him at the annual Digital Citizen Indaba, a blogging conference, at Rhodes University last year. In his day job he works for an advertising agency, according to his LinkedIn profile, the Jupiter Drawing Room, one of the top agencies in South Africa. Another feather in his cap is that Khaya is one of the contributors to the Mail & Guardian’s Thought Leader group blog. What I would like from Khaya is to produce a weekly video blog for myself and in turn I would like to help commercialise his videos. There is a great potential to create a DVDs (like the Ask a Ninja DVD) based on his videos and sell this online, direct to home or to video rental chains in South Africa. His outstanding quality is his sharp sense of humour and wit.
Rafiq Phillips: Cape Town based SEO expert, hardcore technology blogger and Internet evangelist blogs at WebAddict. He is the co-creator of iDrive a portal for finding driving schools in South Africa. Both of us represented South Africa as bloggers at the TEDGlobal Conference in Tanzania last year. The iDrive platform was accessible on MXit until recently. The innovation from him has led to him being featured on a Carte Blanche segment in March 2008. Rafiq would be the obvious person to run search engine campaigns and also act as the lead blogger to drive traffic and attention.
Why do skinny girls have fat friends? Khaya Dlanga has the answer…
Khaya Dlanga is probably South Africa’s top video blogger. His Youtube channel has over 10,000 subscribers. So he recently posted this awesome video about why skinny girls may have fat friends. His conclusion is that skinny girls have fat friends because it makes them feel better about themselves. On a more practical level when they go out together the skinny girl will get hit on more because most guys are not going to approach the fat girl first. Anyway decide for yourself if you concur with Khaya’s theory after watching his video featuring several interviews with girls around his office, all of whom seem to be thin.
