Wow! did I say wow! We’ve just opened up the Sunday Times and springleap is in the Lifestyle section!

Wow! welcome to springleap if you’ve just come from the Sunday Times “what’s hot” section.

Sunday Times - thanks for making our sunday

anyway, Sunday Times you ROCK! tx for making the entire springleap team jump on our dining room tables

shoutBack on 27/7/08 by Eric

if you just can’t wait for your copy of the Sunday Times, or you’re outside of South Africa, you can still check out the springleap mention in the Sunday Times “Hot Thangs” by clicking here

here’s a preview of what the article looks like:

springleap mentioned in Die Burger jip shoutOut on 29/7/08 by Eric in paparazzi

Wow! 2 mentions in 2 days. Yesterday was the Sunday Times talking about springleap in the “Hot Thangs” section…

And then today we got a call from a couple of the springleap guys to let us know that we got a mention in “Die Burger” which is one of South Africa’s LARGEST Afrikaans newspapers.

In the section called “Surf jou weg hierheen”, it says that “springleap maak die koelste T-hemde in Suid-Afrika”!

Our translation - springleap makes the coolest Tshirts in South Africa. We have to disagree slightly. We think springleap makes the coolest Tshirts ANYWHERE in the world!

But thanks “Die Burger” - what an awesome way to start the springleap day.

springleap is getting mentioned all over the place…

First up was The Citizen which did a profile piece on springleap, and apparently there was a picture as well (I haven’t seen the article yet)

Next up was UCT Radio station which did a 12 month live interview with Eran - the UCT radio station guys were fantastic - I mailed them asking if I could get a copy and the next day they emailed me a link to download the MP3 of the interview. Thanks guys!

The Natal Witness featured springleap on the home page of their entertainment section - I think it was the entire page! I’ve only seen a scan of the article but it looks aweseome.

BizCommunity wrote about the springleap April Fools Joke, along with tons of info about what we’re up to! NICE

The April 08 issue of Leadership Magazine has featured springleap as one of the Top 10 Internet Startup’s in South Africa! Stoked!

And the M&G Online did a great article on what springleap’s plans are - great article, but I’m not a great designer guys (although I’d love to be one!). I was pretty excited to see the article in the printed edition, but 2 trips to CNA only resulted in me popping into the woolworths next door to buy a chocolate as we haven’t been featured in the offline M&G YET…

It’s been a BUSY 2 weeks…if you see springleap mentioned anywhere (magazines, online, radio, TV etc), please LET US KNOW

The SEO comp has turned into CHAOS. Good Chaos, but it’s a little crazy nontheless.

The current top 5 are:
ONE: http://www.springleap.com/
TWO: http://www.bandwidthblog.com/2008/02/21/springleap-submit-your-t-shirt-designs-and-you-may-win/
THREE: http://www.bandwidthblog.com/2008/03/14/springleap-marketing-a-seo-contest/
FOUR: http://imod.co.za/2008/03/08/the-inside-scoop-with-eran-eric-and-springleapcom/
FIVE: http://www.webaddict.co.za/2008/03/17/springleap-seo-competition-is-it-really/

So the springleap SEO battle has hottened up with Charl, Chris and Rafiq all in the race.

One of the guys who blogged about springleap was No Box Media

WOW - what a posting. They’re number 7 in the competition at the moment, but the springleap team want to take a few mins to just say…

WOW!

They went into huge detail about ideas for how to make life easier for the designers submitting designs.

We’ve actually been working on our new submit process for the last 2 weeks, and it should go live any day now, so we’re looking forward to hearing what they say about the new design process.

They finished off with…

All the best to Springleap, may you grow from strength to strength.

Guys, YOU ROCK!!!!

robinpietersen - what you think of the new submit process?

shoutBack on 30/3/08 by Eric

Sounds good, looking forward to the design.

shoutBack on 29/3/08 by DuncanBoxie

Thanks guys. It was a fun post to write, nothing better than context to a technical post. I’ll whip up a t-shirt design and check out the new submit process!

shoutBack on 29/3/08 by robinpietersen

Loving the posting, nice one Box Media.
Think anybody will be able to beat us in the SEO search Eric, tall order indeed.
Cant wait to get a feel for the new submit process.

chilibean interview via skype text shoutOut on 13/3/08 by Eric in paparazzi

Paul Jacobson from the chilibean blog interviewed our very own springleap founder Eran Eyal in a very innovative way today.

They got onto skype and the questions were asked LIVE via typing. So Paul asked a question, and Eran answered it in the skype window.

Then Paul did a small amount of editing (but left the time of the questions and replies), and the interview was blogged.

Discussion topics included:

what is Springleap, where did the idea come from?

is this the good stuff?

how does the process work from the perspective of an artist?

Would the choice of software package to support limit artist involvement? Is the software readily available?

What an awesome way of interviewing someone!

To check out the incredible conversation Paul & Eran had on skype (which lasted over AN HOUR), check out the chilibean site at:

http://chilibean.co.za/2008/03/13/springleap-is-sprung/

Wow that is a very unique interview.
An hour interview is quite a long time, i can imagine the typing can make things a bit disjointed though…would have been fun to watch over Eran’s shoulder.

It was an exciting day yesterday, as the first official springleap press release got issued.

WOW The internet is amazingly fast.

Within 2 hours, the story had been picked up by google news & yahoo news, and then a whole host of smaller news sites.

Thats the “Global Hood” for ya, it spreads like wild fire…but its the kinda fire we love ;)
Interenet is undoubtedly the most important creation of our time…reach somebody, anywhere, with the click of a button, instantly.
