Comments on: The Twitter effect http://www.2plus3.co.za/internet/the-twitter-effect A blog by Johann du Plessis about cars, technology, making money and anything else that's awesome.

I created the site after I realised I was visiting loads of news sites every day, and it would have been much simpler to just visit a single site. And with people being able to vote for stories it makes it much quicker to see what's news worthy and what's not. Hopefully a lot of other people will also find the site useful! @Matt Thanks!

(and a lot of people I'm sure) Awesome little experiment, worth watching simply because the news filter was created by a trustworthy source and the delivery of content through this channel could potentially save me having to go to all my news sites independantly. Plus the good stories, like cream, tend to rise to the top. Nice post Johann, been missing free thinkers on the web and this helped ;) Getting traffic is one thing, but is it the right traffic and what you do to commercially convert that traffic is the current hot topic for me.

I'm currently running Newsvibe as a hobby (it's not costing me much), so I can try out different things without really worrying about the consequenses. I've still got a few ideas I'm gonna try out, will post about the effect they have. @Jansie Yep, it is a very interesting expermiment.

And a classic example of traffic not being the goal. Having all the traffic in the world means nothing if it doesn't convert. I think getting people interested in SA is even more of a challenge. Sterkte! Very interesting post! And a classic example of traffic not being the goal. Having all the traffic in the world means nothing if it doesn’t convert.
