    Default SA Blog Awards 2009 and blogging in Namibia

    Last Friday the winners of the South African Blog Awards 2009 were anounced in Cape Town.
    Critics claim that the blog of the year 2009, Seth Rotherman's blog 2oceansvibe.com, is just about tits, ass, cars, rugby and surfing, which is a reflection of the fact that Internet is very white, middle class and English right now.

    Well, there are differences to Namibia, at least in the blogosphere. First of all, the leading blogs of Namibia are German, and the top blog is certainly not a chauvinistic titties blog, but a very intelligent and personal blog by a mother of three trying her luck overseas. But other than that, the blogosphere is also in a sorry state -- few players, no diversity!

    So, to inspire you sad bunch to pick up your keyboards and enrich the blogosphere, here is the list of the South African winners:

    * Blog of the Year 2009: 2oceansvibe
    * Entertainment: 2oceansvibe
    * Controversial: 2oceansvibe
    * Humorous: 2oceansvibe
    * Original Writing: 2oceansvibe
    * Best Post: 2oceansvibe (”Idols Judge Challenges 2oceansvibe“)
    * African Language: Watkykjy
    * Personal: baglett
    * Sports: keo.co.za
    * Group Blog: SARocks
    * Music: MoralFibre
    * Parenting: joumaseblerrieblog
    * Podcast: Just Vocabulary
    * Design: skinnylaminx
    * New blog: From The Couch
    * Tech: iMod
    * Business: Dave Duarte
    * Food and Wine: Cook Sister!
    * Travel: The Portfolio Travel Blog
    * Political: Accidental Academic
    * Photographic: Pleasefindthis

    Thanks, der-die-das-namibia! Keep on the good work.

    You can start your own blog right here in our community. Wouldn't that be great? All registered community members have this option. Just click on the Blogs link in the top navigation bar and click Post to your blog! The rest is up to your imagination, knowledge and experience! There is also a blog control panel that allows you to change many aspects of your blog, such as the look and feel. It does everything except submit your tax return
