Mxit
July 9, 2008 – 9:31 am
Sat down with the minds at MXIT yesterday to brainstorm possible colaborations between Blueworld, Zoopedup and MXIT. They are years ahead of their time and is sitting on some seriously cool tech. Hopefully we can find some synergies to explore between our platforms. Below some pics of the MXIT offices.
I appeared on channel MK TV's new hip hop and car show WOELAG. They interviewed me on our automotive social network Zoopedup.
I have been nominated for ICT Young Entrepreneur of Africa 2008. Now to even be nominated is a great honour for me seeing as last years winner of the award is internationally renowned Vinny Lingham.
