ReadWriteWeb does it again

ReadWriteWeb loves us! WOW. I know the last few posts of mine have been about gloating but when ReadWriteWeb features us in their Top 10 lists who can resist?

This time, RRW has given Afrigator an honourable mention in the Top 10 RSS and Syndication Products of 2008 list.

This Top 10 list features FriendFeed, Google Reader, Twitterfeed, Feedburner and Yahoo! Pipes. Here’s what RRW had to say about us.

Finally, we love African social media aggregator Afrigator – it’s a great way to learn about what’s happening all over the continent and it’s a great use of RSS. We named it one of the Top 10 International Products of 2008 but we think it deserves an honorable mention in this category as well.

Once again I’m humbled by RRW’s support of Afrigator and it’s a great way to end off a fantastic year for us!

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

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!
