Promotional Videos – a great idea! (?)
A bit of light relief – this blog entry makes a strong point about why corporate promotional rap videos may not produce the desired results: http://www.knowhr.com – never ever sing in videos

Web Application Super Heroes Conference 2007 – Open to All!
Every year, White Wall Web has bi-annual conferences to discuss issues relevant and interesting to the WWW team.
Each end of year conference is a culmination of the year’s learnings and industry developments and takes place over two days.
This year WWW plans to do something a little different. “As we have grown in both size and knowledge, we have realized that our conference content has a lot to offer others in the industry,” says Peter Flynn, MD of White Wall Web International. This year, the conference is being opened up to invited and paid guests and the content tailored to be of interest to this new group of attendees. “In 2008 we are planning to host a full paid conference, so this year’s (2007) conference is a bit of a “hybrid” as we gear up for next year’s event.”

PayPal: Good news for South African eCommerce
South African online buyers can now receive quotes in Rands and make credit card purchases through PayPal.
“Just the other day, I found out that South Africans can now get PayPal accounts and link them to a local credit card. When you buy something, the amount is deducted from your credit card and the system even tells you much it will be in rands.
The only major snag with PayPal, for us South Africans, is that you currently cannot withdraw the funds from your account into a local bank account.” Full article: http://www.ioltechnology.co.za/article_page.php?iArticleId=4128440
For receiving the funds into a business, you still can not deposit into a South African bank acount, but this can be solved through offshore options.

.Net ORM – object relational mapping tools
In the last two weeks my development team has made a few new discoveries in the area .Net ORM tools. The new additions are Sub Sonic (free) and Entity Spaces (paid – $80).
We are in the process of evaluating and prototyping both of these tools for a enterprise sized web-application that we are about to start building. The team discovered these after struggling to implement the much talked about NHibernate ORM framework.
