New Parenting Forum for South Africa

Kiddies CornerMy fiance has just revamped her website, KiddiesCorner (an online business directory for businesses that focus on babies, kids and parents) and relaunched it with a new Parenting Forum! This forum will allow parents to ask questions, share information and simply join a community of parents that care.

Simply join the forum and start discussing issues that are important to you or pose a question on something you would like to find the answer to. The goal of this forum is to get as many parents registered so that we can create a community of parents that are willing to share information and help others!

For more information on the forum, contact Tam at tam(at)kiddiescorner.co.za

SocialPress – A SA Startup Worth Watching

socialpress-logo2
A new social media platform has emerged in South Africa with great potential. Enter SocialPress.co.za, a tool designed to make business networking easy while keeping the element of fun on the cards. This is a truely great initiative started by Anton Koekemoer set to take South African socialites and business owners by storm.

I have been watching the progress of this wonderful tool for the passed week and I must say, it really is climbing the ranks and getting more popular day by day. Have a look at the following stats from Alexa.com:

I know from experience that a climb like that in “reach” is quite exponential and very difficult to achieve. This also just goes to show that effectively networking yourself online can pay off in big ways, and Anton has done this well.

Some functionality offered from SocialPress:

  • Communicate with other members
  • Upload your links and allow others to comment on it
  • Join in on Forum discussions
  • Create and join industry related groups.
  • Keep up-to-date with the latest events.
  • There will soon enough be the option to create your own SocialPress blog

Well done to SocialPress and remember to keep the momentum flowing! Keep up the great work.
