AfriGreater December – tough question time
Following on from the success of the November campaign, we’ve decided to give you another shot at getting your mits on 5 SpringLeap t-shirts in the December AfriGreater competition.
This month’s question is a little sticky, but we’re big boys here at the Gator Pen and sometimes you need a little cold truth to help you make progress.
So, this month we want to know:
“What about Afrigator seriously ticks you off?” What’s your pet peeve about the site (or us for that matter).
The reason we want to know is simple – we love Afrigator, and like proud parents we often have a hard time seeing the faults in our pride and joy. So we’re asking for an impartial view (that’s you) to help us make things better. And don’t worry, we know that when you tell us what you don’t like, you’re only doing it to help us (just don’t add “this hurts me more than it hurts you in your post, lol).
To enter your blog post for the December competition, all you need to do is use the words “AfriGreater December” in your post and we’ll find it. So while we’re all a little nervous at the thought of what might be coming our way, we know that once we know what’s not working we can fix it up and get that much close to becoming the best blog aggregator in the world.
Till next time, keep on blogging

I think that if the quality of the post is good enough, there’s no reason a previous winner can’t walk off with another cool SpringLeap t-shirt

Really great idea gents, nothing better than letting the public rant and then building on top of it all to make things even better.
Afrigator rocks, end of story. Right, let me look into what ticks me off

Ur new competition is not explicitly clear. I think u guys will do better by doing a little more explantion. Do you mean we should write an article with Afrigreater December
Chris M said,
Wrote on December 3, 2008 @ 16:42
@bill – It just means that in your article, you must mention those 2 words somewhere, that’s all. It will basically allow them to track who has written about them or not, probably with something like Google Alerts..

Hi Bill,
All you need to do is write your blog post about what it is about Afrigator that you don’t like. Somewhere in your post please use the words “AfriGreater December” so that we can track the posts related to this competition.
I hope this clears things up,
Lester

Chris – why would we use Google Alerts when we have all the data stored in our brilliant application

Uhm, what happens if I can’t find any faults with Afrigator, can I still blog about it using the tracking phrase and still stand a chance of winning??
Justin Hartman said,

Seriously dude, if you really can’t find any faults then say simply that – “Afrigator is faultless and it makes me sick”
Stii says he loves you!

@Justin – What if the person’s website isn’t being tracked by Afrigator? Or are only Afrigator members allowed to enter? Did it say that in the terms and conditions or are you just excluding those people, much like the SA Blog Survey peeps

Hahhahahhaa, well ya, I kinda spent 30mins looking for something I don’t like and even the forgotten password system has stopped throwing out errors, so I’m not too sure.
Tell Stii that I’ll nitpik and find something

Generally speaking (and it is a generalisation) people who aren’t members of Afrigator don’t really write about us. But we’ll setup a Google Alert now to see if there are any who aren’t members so we can track them as well!
My question to them would be why you’re not a member yet
Chris M said,
Wrote on December 3, 2008 @ 16:56
OOOoooooh, so you were only considering active members, let me consult the T&C’s quickly
haha jk
They might not be a member, because they’re from overseas?

Fair point. And with that point Justin sets up a new Google Alert

[...] This month’s campaign – “Afrigreater December” – is all about what peeves you about the Afrigator site, I’m assuming this drive is to build awareness of the site as well as to make the site work better… which is never a bad thing. So, even though this is quite negative, and they’re taking quite a risk in getting all this negative sentiment about the site, I suppose it’s still good publicity… and hey… I love the Springleap T-shirts… yes, I’m quite shallow that way [...]
