SynthaSite wins Industry Standard Awards

I’m proud to announce that SynthaSite has won the Industry Standard 100 Awards in our category – community & social! Thanks to everyone for voting!

We were up against a very tough line of competitors, including Meebo & Delicious (owned by Yahoo), and it’s a real testimony to the growth in the popularity of our service.

SynthaSite now boasts well over 1m unique visitors per month, and still on a very nice upward trend! We also launched Blogging, Shopping Carts & Domain registration earlier this month!

I must apologize to my readers for not posting much over the past few weeks, but there are some very interesting things happening over at SynthaSite which has dominated my free time (I think I’m averaging 4-5 hours per night sleep!). I’m going to be picking up the pace, real soon!

San Francisco is really fantastic, and I’m enjoying every minute here, but I also do miss home!

Thanks again to everyone for voting!

    ask yourself: would you have been able to pull it off if u stayed here?

    now pat yourself on the back for having the foresight and the chutzpah as a south african entrepreneur to make the move to the valley.

    and the question that this brings to mind is..

    is Charl Norman next to make the move to the valley?

  30. Paul Green Says:
    November 30, 2008 at 2:31 pm

    Well done. I know from working in the tech industry on a large project that didn’t take off that a product such as your is very difficult to get off the ground.
