I’d say you fellows were really onto something with your discussion of the various social portals and how it all should (but may not) converge for your convenience. One aspect to keep in mind, and I think Jon’s comments brought this out, is that the ad-based guys need to keep you on the portal, and are unlikely to be enthusiastic about letting other integrate them elsewhere.

Live show, cool. By the way, the countdown clock on http://zatech.co.za/live is set to GMT instead of GMT+2. Show starts at 4pm (but counter says 2pm).
