Time to face it, guys, you desperately need training

[Marion Scher] As a media professional, I should be grateful to Julius, Jacob, Helen and most of COSATU for constantly letting their mouth-offs make the front page and selling papers. But it’s now time to take on a more professional image.

[ICOM] What the heck is ICOM and why is it important for SA's digital progress?

[Josh Adler] Well, it’s arrived. I'm sitting in the lounge about to fly off to Portugal for the I-COM summit (International Conference on Online Media Measurement), an event that takes place every two years and seems to attract everyone who's anyone in the world of "Internet audience measurement".

The good comes with the bad

[Gill Moodie: @grubstreetSA] Like Paris Hilton, I had occasion to frequent a South African court house this past week. It might have been a simpler affair if I too had been nicked on the wrong side of a dagga cloud but, alas, I was paying a traffic fine for a lapsed car-licence disc.

Bottling the gees

[Marion Scher] Who would have believed that the main subject of conversation between middle-class white women over coffee mornings and dinner parties would be soccer? Who would have seen themselves grinning wildly and have an overwhelming urge to embrace total strangers spending their euros and dollars at our shopping malls?

Brazil’s decade

[Abey Mokgwatsane] So here I am on my way back from Brazil... What an eye opener. Travel should be mandatory for everyone. (Hey, how many places outside of South Africa do you think Julius Malema has been to?)
