Today – Sunday 29 September 2008 – the SM segment in the Sunday Tribune featured Springleap as the site of the week as well as taking the opportunity to ask co-founder Eran Eyal some quirky queries!

We didn’t :(

But apparently in the last week, we’ve been on TWICE!!

So if you saw springleap on TV, please let us know.

Rumours have been floating around that there was a TV program on SABC1 last tuesday or wednesday where Eran was featured being interviewed at Sanlam Fashion Week.

And then we heard today that last Saturday night there was a program which showed Eran giving a talk at Durban Fashion Week.

But until the springleap team see’s the proof, we’re afraid we won’t think of you as a celeb Eran! haha

On Monday I arrived early at the office, and the landline rang before I had even had a cup of coffee.

It was Stephen calling from a newspaper wanting a quote about eCommerce in South Africa.

So I spoke and spoke, and spoke some more.

And this morning, I opened up the Cape Times, and see a HUGE pic and article of Eran and me!

Next to the eCommerce article is an article called:

PROFILE: SPRINGLEAP.com VIES FOR TWO AWARDS

Thanks Stephen! What a way to start the day!

Eran thinks he won gold at the Olympics

Better than having tea with the Queen

SA Good News, a South African website which finds all the good stuff happening in South Africa, wrote an article on springleap yesterday called:

SA internet company up for intl innovation award which focussed on the nomination we got in the Innovation 100 Awards

Check out the story at SAgoodNews.co.za

David Donde, the owner of Origin Coffee in Cape Town, and popular talk radio host mentioned the springleap innovation nomination on the midnight session of 567 / Cape Talk on Friday night

And I’ve just been called by my sister to tell me that my G-dmother in JHB called her earlier today to tell her that she had heard springleap being talked about when she was listening on Friday Night! Can you hear us shouting with joy???

Vida eCaffe & Origin are now tied for my number one cup of coffee since eSquared closed a few weeks ago. (although I won’t forget the legendary cups of coffee I had their for MANY YEARS).

Which is your favourite coffee shop? If you’re in Cape Town, try out Origin and comment on whether you prefer Vida or Origin?
