Forgot to mention:
A pretty good Twitter client for your PC, might be a rival for Tweetdeck (it runs on Adobe AIR, so multi-platform). You guys might want to check it out?
It’s called Destroy Twitter:

Great show.
Just checked maps on my iPhone and all street names in the “Map” selection and all street names are now there. Checked all JHB, CT and Durban. The whole country seems to be in, even check Villiers in the OFS.
Directions not available as yet. I suppose just a matter of time.



















I voted for you guys of course- I can honestly say it’s the best podcast I listen to in all of South Africa.
But I must point out it’s in the wrong category. I had to scroll WAY past the humor section… something about science or other…
