Biz gets a makeover - 23 May 2011

After months of behind-the-scenes activity, we're thrilled to unveil a revamped Bizcommunity.com, featuring a host of new features including an expanded set of self-promotional tools and more ways to share news and information. Read all the details here and please do share your feedback with us.

Tragically, on Friday morning the awful news reached South Africa that SA freelance photographer Anton Hammerl, whom the Libyan government had been saying was alive and well, had in reality been killed on 5 April 2011. According to the Facebook group, a memorial service will be held in London before the end of the month and his family are also planning to hold an event in Johannesburg to celebrate Anton.

Bizcommunity extends our condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

Hamba kahle, Anton

PS You all seemed to have enjoyed last week's poll (a big thumbs-up for the new Cadbury's Balloons TVC) so much so here's another one: what do you think of the latest Nando's ad campaign?

PPS The latest Ornico Ad Showcase features TV ads for Coca-Cola , Kulula, Hennessy, Cadbury Dairy Milk and Vodacom, and radio ads for Sasol, Mini Cooper, TopTV, KFC and Panarotti's.
