I’m sure by now you must have heard about the new South African website called MemeBurn. The site is the brainchild of Matthew Buckland and the guys from Creative Spark.
The site focuses on South Africa and the emerging markets and is a mashup between the Techcrunch’s and Mashables of the world. So far I am very very impressed with the site, and have added it to my “Must Read” folder on Google Reader.
A few weeks ago, I got a mail from the Matt, asking me if I would like to contribute to the site, so I put a couple of words down about my favorite subject, The SA iPhone app Market. The article went live this morning, and you can read it here -> http://memeburn.com/2010/04/sa-iphone-app-market-poised-to-boom/
Here is a short extract about what its all about…
According to AdMob, the world’s largest Mobile Advertising Network, South Africans are slowly catching on to the worldwide iPhone phenomenon. Stats show that the penetration of the iPhone into the South Africa market has slowly increased over the last couple of months, as users of the device start seeing the potential benefits, both from a business as well as a personal perspective.
South African iPhone developers have been growing quickly over the past couple of months, with corporates now also seeing the benefits of having an iPhone application included in their media portfolio.
This is one of my first articles I have submitted to another site, and would love feedback, so please feel free to let me know what you think in the comments on the article :)
