[...] The SA blogosphere is buzzing with all the activity around the 2007 Blog Awards. Now just the other day I was talking about Keo.co.za and the need to recognise it as a significant force in the SA blogosphere (and I’d love to think that my post had an impact on it being selected for Blog of the Year), but have we collectively forgotten about one of the most prominent SA blogs in the world altogether?

Andrew Symonds is the most patriotic cricketer compared to KP who desserted his country to play for England, yet we still hear him moan and whine about being excluded from South African cricket. Andrew Symonds on the other we have never heard him complain, the fact that he was dominating the English County years ago and was worthy of playing for Australia, but due to the fact that the Assiues had players like the Waugh brother, Michael Bevan and many others. He was offered a chance to play for England but unlike the latter he chose to turn down the offer and wait for “CHANCE” that one day he’ll play for the Australian cricket team. Through patience and hardwork he finally achieved his childhood dream. MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT FOR THE MAN

Keo.co.za is the first thing I click on everytime I check out my newsreader. It subscribes to all the criteria for what, in my opinion, a blog is all about:

1. It’s well-written.
2. It’s topical.
3. It’s updated frequently (Not sure there is an SA blog that is more up-to-date).
4. It’s pulls no punches – unlike many news sites which have all the bureaucratic hurdles that prevent them from saying it like it is.
5. It’s interactive (I noted one post, about Skinstad’s imminent return, had over 1200 comments!)

As to whether it’s a blog or not, I think the loose conversational style separates it from News24 or IOL or the like.

Nice post, Mike.

[...] Thomas Friedman’s “The World is Flat“, really resounded with me this weekend.� I was reading a post by Mike Stopforth on some of South Africa’s top bloggers, where he regarded me as one of them and did a quick traffic comparison with Alexa.� I proceeded to review my weblogs, and although technically, this may be true, only about 3% of my traffic is from South Africa – primarily because our business focus is global and there is a lot more traffic internationally by comparison.� Also, given that my site is hosted in the USA, my entries don’t even show up in Google.co.za (I need to get around to fixing this – any suggestions?).

Haha Rafiq. Interestingly enough, my blog ranks # 18,560 on Technorati, and Keo.co.za is around #71,473.

We�re far more niche and our the level of intellect required to understand what we�re writing about, it probably double than the average Rugby Fan

Agreed Vinny even though our use of grammar and tyops in comennts match the average rugby fans

Agreed. Our blogs are never likely to hit the mainstream, which is what Keo does. We’re far more niche and our the level of intellect required to understand what we’re writing about, it probably double than the average Rugby Fan
