Last week Thursday, I had to fly down to Cape Town the morning and flew back to Joburg in the evening, this time I flew with Kulula.com, my previous time I flew I flew with Mango.
So basically I was very impressed with the service, and on-time flights of Kulula, except for one thing. As Kulula is a private company trying to survive in the aviation world, they must get their funding from somewhere. When boarding this particular flight, there was advertising on the in-flight luggage holders(above passengers heads) with stickers advertising the Kulula credit card. After a while getting bored on the flight, I had a look at the little magazine provided in the flight, where I also was bombarded with advertisements of Kulula partners and other ways to just take my money away from me.  Before we landed the hostesses went on about you can now go stay in this group hotel and can go hire a car at this car rental institution. All the hard marketing started to really irritate me after a while.
In contrast, Mango is funded partly/indirectly by government, and they don’t have any of the advertising during their flights. I’ll fly Kulula again(they really make good jokes during the flight), but I just have to ignore all the marketing and advertising campaigns which is just too in your face.
Just a quick post before I start to graft at work….
Well, Google has launched Google Lively, which in essence could be become a second SecondLife or more. With Google Lively you can actually create rooms and let your visitors of your website chat within a virtual world. Have a look !

Whilst reading through my feeds I found this post by a fellow South African developer, which is a link to a matrix of skills(and competencies) that can be used see where you stand in you “ELITE”-ness as a programmer.
Wow, very nice emerging technologies from Musion.
Basically it’s a holographic projection video conferencing technology that was built by Cisco and Musion, which is currently being planned for stage-type environments, and
later into business and then into your home.
They’ve got a nice video of the presentation here.
Worth a watch, and check out, Martin de Beer’s father is in South Africa …
I’ve just been Rickrolled (WikiAnswers | Wikipedia ) on YouTube, was looking at the latest viewed videos, and found this video, “8 Teenagers Beat up 16 year old girl”, and when I went to view it, guess who it was….?
Aren’t we living in interesting times especially with stuff like this and other like the Vernon Koekemoer, Ken Lee and many other such phenomenons.
As usual Google is digging into their current user base and launching more and more new features which I reckon is slowly starting to take over almost each area of social networks on the internet, or some areas that is.
They’re latest new features is almost a Twitter/Friendster feature within Google Reader is with
- Sharing of bookmarklets, share anything(any content) with your friends you find, just drag and drop to toolbar and it’s instantaniously shared.
- Share items with a note, Share content/web pages with your own notes attached.
Now I just wonder what else Google has planned and at what point in their strategy will they be taking over the world.
