How Carte Blanche could make it better next time

A damn lot was said this week about the Web2.0 insert of Sunday. Some people were upset that the message was a misrepresentation of what exactly Web2.0 was. In all honesty, I liked it. It was confusing in a way, but it was great seeing my friends on such a big program on telly. Dave & Rafiq, you guys rocked! I think I agree most with what Grant said.

One thing I do think that would have “explained” the Web2.0 theory a bit better would have been the Stormhoek story. It is a great story about how to think out the box and how to apply some pivotal aspects or tools of Web2.0 to promote your product. It would be much more relevant to viewers I think as it is a quite simple to understand story, which is of great value to anyone. Simply put, the Stormhoek story could have generated a lot more curiosity in Web2.0. It is not too late though! If anyone with Carte Blanche connections reads this, suggest it to them. Although, I think the Zoopers are doing a fantastic job already, so maybe CB can simply buy their clips…

If the “buy a vine - save a job” project is successful, it could be quite a significant turn of events in the Web2.0 movement again. Getting your fans and followers to micro-finance your business. Read this excellent article written by Eve Dmochowska on Bizcommunity.

PS: When Belinda saw Rafiq on Carte Blanche she went: “No ways! But thats Rafiq!” and to our eldest son “That uncle on TV stayed here in our house! WOW!” @Rafiq - you’re a celeb now mate!

  Stii… glad you agree.

  I have to say I also agree that the Stormhoek story would’ve been ideal for the Carte Blanche audience and would’ve gone some way to aiding their cause.
