Afrigator on ReadWriteWeb and the New York Times as a Top 10 International Product for 2008

Afrigator Awards New York Times Newspapers Read/WriteWeb

Hey, it looks like you're new here to my blog! You may want to consider subscribing to my RSS feed and you'll automatically get notified when I post a new blog entry. If web feeds aren't your thing then why not join my email list by clicking here. Thanks for stopping by.

This almost went unnoticed but on Friday Afrigator was voted one of the Top 10 International Products for 2008 by ReadWriteWeb. This is obviously a massive accolade for all of us involved in Afrigator and at times like this I’m left perplexed at how a small garage startup like Afrigator has managed to gain such credibility outside the borders of SA.

To be included in the list along with massive properties like Netvibes and Zoho is a great testament to the efforts the guys have put into this company and I was particularly chuffed to see that this article made the New York Times’ Technology section.

Now all we need to do is figure out how we can get similar local recognition and then we’re well and truly sorted!

    Hats off to you guys. I think you’ve done a world-class job. There’s a lot to be said for garage-setups, as these normally are the outfits that people put their hearts and souls into (and it tells), as opposed to large corporate jobs which might be slick but can much easier lose impetus when key people move in.
