I still get fascinated daily by what one can find on the Internet with a few clicks, more so than my cellphone (which I can blissfully remember doing without), I'd rather give up chocolate than my Internet access - and I am one of those journalists who remember starting on typewriters (and they weren't electric either in early newsrooms like The Citizen where I was a student!) Although someone asked the other day whether The Star newspaper still barred Internet access to its journalists except from one central point where you have to log in! Really? What a short-sighted travesty! Anyway the point of all this is that the Internet still gives me a wow moment every day and the latest find is a site called AlexaRadar - AlexaRadar's Fast Traffic is an automatically generated listing of websites getting rapid increase of daily reach in a given geographic area. It has a section devoted to the movers and shakers on the Internet, where one can see which websites are showing the most growth in each specific country. And we all gleefully noted that Bizcommunity.com features in the top five for South Africa: 1) Google.co.za; 2) MyBroadband.co.za; 3) Fin24.co.za; 4) Bizcommunity.com; and 5) za.net. According to the site, 72.6% of our growth comes from South Africa, 9% from the UK and 9% from the US... Big ups to the rest of Team Biz who make it happen daily! Enjoy!
