  • Durban scoops some SA Blog Awards

    Things here in Durbs, are relativity quite when it comes to blogging, and social media. Which is kinda sad. I know of a few Durban bloggers, like Pfangirl, noodle, Ewan & edd, amongst others. Last year a local company called Immedia, climbed on board with East Coast Radio, which is Kwazulu Natal‘s regional radio station.

    The station hosts some of South Africa’s top broadcasting personalities, like Darren Scott & Daryl Illbury. Last year at our first 27 Dinner in Durbs, Anice from Immedia came and spoke to us about how ECR decided to implement blogs into their website. Certain shows would be able to interact off air with listeners, in a forum where listeners could respond. The response was phenomenal. The listeners grasped the concept, and left comments, were able to listen to repeats of certain sections of the show.

    Last night at the SA Blog awards, 3 of the blogs won 5 of the awards in 6 of their nominated categories.

    Best SA Entertainment Blog – Big Breakfast Blog
    Most Humorous South African Blog – Big Breakfast Blog
    Best New Blog – Newswatch Blog
    Best SA Podcast – Just Plain Darrens Blog
    Best Group Blog – Big Breakfast Blog
    Runner up in Best Sports Blog – Just Plain Darrens Blog

    Well done to East Coast Radio & Immedia in helping Durbs shine on the map :)

  • SA Blog Awards 2008

    Time has come for the 2008 SA Blog awards. And I’m asking for your vote. I don’t usually ask to be nominated or expect to win anything, cause I feel that the best man always wins :)

    I think I have quite a good chance in Best New Blog in 2007. After my newly found inspiration  after organising the 27 Dinner in Durban, I started up this blog. I know I’m not the most regular poster but hey, I think I’m doing an OK job

    But if you can, take 2 minutes and click on the widget below,  or in my Sidebar on the right I would greatly appreciate it :)
