Record traffic for Table Mountain Cableway: On foot and on the web
By Ingrid Sinclair // January 27, 2012
December 2011 will go down in the books as one of Table Mountain Cableway’s busiest months to date: 116 000 pairs of feet took to the summit of Cape Town’s beloved landmark. That’s pretty impressive when you consider that the Cableway reported just 6 000 visitors in December 1929, the year that it was first operational. Of course, here at Flow Communications, we get most of our kicks elsewhere – on the web, that is. Read more…

G|South Africa 2.0 Day 2 – a day of face-to-face ‘googling’
By Stephen Frank // November 09, 2011
So, you’re at a pub with friends (it can happen). Suddenly it becomes apparent that trying to remember the name of that actor who was in that movie is critical to any sort of conversation moving forward. You know that actor, right? The one from that movie?! “I need to google that” – mobile phones are whipped out, 3G networks start buzzing and multiple search queries are fired off into the cosmos and returned in 0.25 seconds (it was Jodie Foster by the way ... just so you know).

By Richard Frank // October 27, 2011
I’ve just returned from my second ExpressionEngine and CodeIgniter Conference (EECI), this time in New York City (the first being in Leiden two years ago). Fellow delegates are always surprised when they hear I’ve travelled from South Africa to attend. I spend more time in a passenger seat than I do actually at the conference (at 16hrs 05min, SA203 is one of the longest flights in the world!), put up with long embassy lines to get a visa, and leave business for a week knowing that work is piling up on my desk for when I return.
