Gatorpeeps
I had the privilege of witnessing Justin Hartman announce Gatorpeeps.com to the world during BarCamp Nigeria 2009 in Lagos Nigeria. After a few weeks of use, I am still excited about it. Gatorpeeps – essentially a subset of Afrigator – is a …

How do you detect the difference between a robot and a person?

You do not want robots spamming your networks.

Micro blogging is the new social networking tool, and making it available on the cellular network much like Mxit will really boost your brand image.

So what if you are not as famous as the big boys, you are here in Africa looking after African Interests, and we will support you here in Africa.

One thought though. If all the SA peeps moved to Gatorpeeps and the discussions were happening there you’d have no choice but to move. Who else would you talk to?

@myphotographer thanks so much!

@yinka absolutely. We’ll find that niche and we’re going to be working very aggressively on this!

@Rika Susan that’s a classic, must remember that one!

@Kojo yes therein lies the power of Twitter but also the power of Gatorpeeps. While connecting with the world is great Twitter has become noisy, difficult to actually find people and has no focus on Africa. For the most part we’re trying to connect Africa which no one is doing!

@Loy that’s the idea man. Mobile, mobile, mobile!

@Jonathan there are apps for iPhone, Blackberry, Symbian, Windows Mobile all on the development cards. Watch this space.

@Baldricman thanks man, took a lot of time creating that cheque

Most people do move on from Twitter and a lot of SA people have not even heard of Twitter so nice one for getting in there early and connecting the gators up.

Much respect and best of luck.

I think you guys have done a great job.

I think your angle with Gatorpeeps has to be hitting Africa and Middle East hard before they even hear about Twitter. Maybe even Vietnam : )

Forget about SA. I am a Twitter user and there is no way you could convince me to switch to another new platform that is not global and established. – even if I do sit upstairs and I am a Gator fan : )

Hit Nigeria and Cairo ASAP.

Good luck!

Big ups for taking the step though.

And to have our African version, hopefully soon with full mobile device integration – which Twitter does not offer us – is really cool. That, in itself, is a distinguishing factor.
