This afternoon, Sunday, 30 November 2008, I had the privilege of a whirlwind lunch with the US bloggers participating in We Blog the World South Africa (see also United States bloggers to tour SA, Matthew Buckand’s blog, US bloggers set to tour South Africa), hosted by the International Marketing Council of South Africa at Moyo Zoo Lake, Johanesburg. Before they had to rush off to fly to Cape Town, I met most of the bloggers, and folk from the IMC, the IMC board, South African Tourism, eBlockwatch, Meropa, Business Day’s Jocelyn Newmarch and assorted others.

The participating US bloggers are:

The participating South African bloggers are:

While all are/will be blogging individually (somehow, sometime in their jam-packed itinerary - Vodacom has generously sponsored them with new Samsung cellphones, HSDPA cards and bandwidth, which apparently they were all playing with on their coach to the airport), collectively the posts are being aggregated on We Blog the World: South Africa. The conversation on Twitter is using the hashtag #wbwza, and Flickr/Zoopy/YouTube pictures, videos, blog posts etc are usingthe tag wbwsouthafrica.

I’m currently waiting for the new version of Zoopy to go live so I can upload the photos that I took. See Bizcommunity’s profile on the new, improved Zoopy.
