We went to another bloggers' party this evening at Long Street Café (look for the red neon sign in the photo). There's quite a thriving (and growing) tech community in Cape Town. In fact, two Cape-based start-up companies have just been nominated for Industry Standard Innovation 100 awards: Synthasite, the free website builder, has been nominated in the Community-Social category, and Springleap, the t-shirt design company, was nominated in the Retail category.
If you think they're worthy, do vote for them!
