How much is your blog worth? June 22, 2007
Posted by Eve Dmochowska in Blog info.6 comments
Cherryflava is worth about $200 000. That’s according to a little applet designed by Dane Carlson, and is based on two things:
1. Data from your blog as stated by Technorati (rank, links, etc)
2. The link-to-dollar ratio that applied to the AOL-Weblogs deal.
Yes, it’s not perfect. But it is fun. (Until you check your own blog’s value, and realize you can’t REALLY quit your day job)
BTW, Cherryflava is the top ranked South African blog on Technorati, but I haven’t verified if it is also the one “worth” most money. If you play around with the applet and find one that is worth more, please post it in the comments below.

Guide to SA’s Internet! June 20, 2007
Posted by Eve Dmochowska in Uncategorized.5 comments
Welcome to the Internet Guide Blog!
This blog is a companion to the printed magazine, Internet Guide
The purpose of the blog is rather straightforward:
to focus attention to South African web sites, blogs and entrepreneurs. Pretty much just like the magazine.
Which is not to say that I am completely blind to the effects of what is happening on the web outside this country. I do know that the Internet, in theory, is country blind, and I shall report on what I think is relevant and applicable, even if it is not local.
The posting schedule is not set in stone, but will follow something like this:
Monday: Focus on SAfrican websites
Tuesday: Focus on SAfrica blogs
Wednesday: Focus on SAfrican webentrepreneurs, blogggers, designers
Thursday: Events, happenings, trends
Friday: What’s happening elsewhere
If you would like me to feature your web or your blog, please leave a comment below. These comments are deleted as I read/deal with them, so don’t think you are the first one to do so!:-)
Note: The next post will list all the South African blogs that are listed in Technorati’s Top 100 000. Are you there? Drop me a note if you know your blog fits the criteria, and I will include it in the list.
