No, just kidding, but glad you found a use for it. Good pres Justin, particularly like the way you show the application of theory and really good to see Afrigator's growth has been better than expected [assuming expected = budgeted :) ]. Keep going and growing! Thanks for coming clean – the bill’s in the post.

We didn't really know what we were doing but we certainly have a better take on things now. So while lack of planning will get you somewhere at some point you need to actually work it all out - properly! @Jacques - was great to finally meet you and put a face to the name I've been seeing on Twitter. Glad you enjoyed it and looking forward to meeting up with you again in the near future - I hope! @Nic and @Robert, thanks for the comments guys!

So while it looks like it declined in April, May this isn't really accurate. The average seems to be around 700-800 new blogs a month now. Blackberry will be next on the list. One of us just needs to get our hands on one so we can dev and test ;-) What more can be said about T's man. You have to have em, and give em away to have a successful startup!!! :-D Emil, the March blog growth was as a direct result of our integration with 24.com Blogs (now Letterdash).

Amazing growth. Think Africa has a lot of actualising to do in the online sense, which should assure growth for you for some time to come. Love your recipe for success formula, and also when to seek investment [after gaining traction based on your own investments]. If you don't back yourself, why should anyone else...

The Afrigator growth is a phenominal success. It is also encouraging to see the big uptake in blogs, but disheartening to see it decline. However, the accrued growth does seem to average on the up. Do you think Gatorpeeps played a part in this at the time of the big vertical of March this year? The two mobile channels is certainly excellent news for iPhone and HTC users, but what about us BlackBerry champions? I would have loved to hear a bot more about the T-Shirts ;) Very nice.
