Charl Norman is a web entrepreneur behind local social networks 
In the next few days (week) we will be launching the new layout for Blueworld. With the new layout comes considerable usability improvements, cleaning up of the old layout’s cluttered look, caching technology for high traffic areas and removing of all backend logic from the UI layer. Blueworld will soon reach 6 figure monthly traffic so we need to start engineering for performance - the layout launch is a step towards this strategy.
Also with the new layout we will introduce a content delivery network (CDN) to serve Blueworld’s media. This will further ensure less load on our front end farm and quicker loading times. Click below for larger versions -

Photos from my trip to Silicon Valley for the MIH Tech conference.
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.

looking really good. think we need you to help brainstorm on our redesign which we’ll start on soon
styling
Since Foxinni now works for {radiiate}, can we take credit for the design?
LOLS… Nah only joking…
This is next-gen type stuff for Blueworld - really looking hot. Plus, it really does not look like Facebook - BW have definitely established their own identity & style imo.
I really like this Charl. Very clean, striking and bold. Awesome stuff - well done!
@Eric, Jade and Dimo - Thanks! Credit to Malan and the rest of the Blueworld design team
@Adii - You mean Radiiate is using Blueworld design skills? Haaa… j/k
