Twitter Fail Whale Now Common Sight - Fifa World Cup 2010

Getting a Twitter Fail Whale used to be a novelty among those that use Twitter.com regularly. Then came the 2010 edition of Fifa's World Cup!

During games of the month long tournament, Twitter capacity has been reached repeatedly and thus the Fail Whale is now a common sight.

One can safely guess that Twitter will be better prepared for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil ...
 we hope. :)

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.)

2010 World Cup Fever Grips South Africa!

The world was introduced to South Africa's football side formally last week Friday in true African fashion.

African maidens (including our Golden Girl, Charlize Theron) charmed their way into the hearts of millions around the world with a bit of song and dance from the former and gracious hosting (spiced with lots of flirting) from the latter.

It was interesting to note the confusion on Twitter as some American fans of Miss Theron wondered what on earth did she have to do with South Africa! :)
Just to set the record straight, despite her crisp American accent Charlize remains ours chaps!

Anyway, moving on swiftly, Mr Beckham looked smashing as usual and the Mohawk he was sporting didn't look at all out of place with suit he was wearing. You can bet many bottom lips belonging to our South African ladies were plastered to the floor as they salivated over the dude! :D

Meanwhile, outside on the streets of Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg the carnival atmosphere was infectious, dulled only for a few moments as Bafana Bafana was drwan against tough opposition like France, Mexico and Uruguay in Group A.



All this points to one thing: whether the hosts, South Africa, make it or not into the knockout stages, the first World Cup staged on African soil will certainly blow your socks off!

And people ... stop complaining about the Vuvuzela, get into the African spirit of the beautiful game! :)
