Takemehome.co.za's First Vlog

So I finally got around to trying out vlogging (hope I wrote it correctly *lol*) yesterday. I figured starting with something small like an introduction to Takemehome.co.za would do as a first attempt at vlogging.

It helped that this also coincided with the launch of a new giveaway of an 8GB iPod Touch with a years' free Wi-Fi courtesy of GConnect, at Takemehome Give Aways.

For a first timer, who wanted to see what I could do without editing the footage, I feel I didn't do too badly and hope you think so too. :D

Check the video out below and don't for get to enter our SMS giveaway. Check out http://www.takemehome.co.za/giveaways/ for more information.

Keep an eye out for the next vlog. In the next video, Takemehome.co.za will be at the One Million Flags March in Soweto! The word is there will be people like Ziggy Marley, his brothers, K'naan (Wave Your Flag singer) and many other South African artists giving a free concert at the Elkah Stadium Fan Park.

Spot you there with your vuvuzelas!

(Please Note: Takemehome.co.za, The Geek or any of its employees and / or associates are in no way affiliated with G-Connect, the free Wi-Fi is a special they have at the moment.)

Takemehome takes Pocit for a Test Drive

There are various ways one can use to conclude monetary transactions online today. Most of these methods require your customer to own a credit card.

With the current financial climate, many potential customer either no longer use their credit cards or do not qualify for new ones.
Although alternate means of making an online payment exist, none has captured my imagination as Pocit.



According to their website, Pocit, in partnership with Capitec Bank, " is a personal payments tool that allows you to make and receive payments simply, conveniently and securely."

I discovered them at the recent DigitalLife Expo at the Sandton Convention Centre in South Africa and was impressed by the possibilities one could use this tool for.

(Click Here to have a look at what others are using it for and how it works!)

Now, we are about to take it for a test-drive! Watch this space ... :)

Welcome ...
