Working in the new media industry here in the UK exposes me to some pretty cool stuff. I’m fortunate enough to get paid to talk to some really interesting people who are really going some cool and groundbreaking things.
Over the past six months I have got the feeling that the industry has been on the cusp of something big. The advent of a clear understanding of the term web 2.0, and the the much publicized acquisitions on new media companies has seen a great deal of attention drawn to the industry. As positive as this all may seem, a few sceptics are now also now talking about the 2.0 bubble and the possible burst prior to it actually being fully realised.
My day job is in the area of comparison shopping, a growing industry which still has a long way to go before it can be classed as web 2.0
Realising that my personal blog can no longer serve as both an outlet for my personal musings as well as a commentary on my opinions on New Media, I have started TheColonyPerspective
This will allow me to voice my opinions without having to bore my mates who have no interest in the subject, whilst allowing readers who do have interest to not have to read about how much I had to drink over the weekend. LOL
Go check it out to read my first impressions on shopping comparison in South Africa, my compliments to a few South African evangelists (not in the religious sense), and the factors hindering South Africa from entering the web 2.0 revolution.
