A while back we registered Afrigator on Vator.tv’s Demand Media Challenge. For those of you who don’t know what the Demand Media Challenge is all about here’s a quick synopsis of the competition.
Demand Media, which has raised $320 million, is on a quest to find the top next-generation new media companies and has partnered with Vator.tv to find great companies to complement its ever-growing library of cool sites.
The winner gets to fly down to meet with the mergers and acquisitions team at investment company Demand Media, as well meet Demand’s CEO Richard Rosenblatt. Coupled with also gettting blog exposure with profiles on VentureBeat, Mashable and Andy Plesser’s Beet.TV
Yesterday we received some coverage on VentureBeat in relation to the competition and as they point our we’re currently sitting in #7 spot but we’d like to climb a little higher!

Afrigator’s beta launch has received some great coverage lately in the press and being featured on Read/WriteWeb doesn’t happen every day so we thought we should write a blog post about it!
Marshall Kirkpatrick is a Lead Author at Read/WriteWeb and was previously a lead blogger at TechCrunch and he’s written a glowing review on the Afrigator beta site.
This is an amazing achievement for us and I’m really happy to see the International community finding true value in what we’ve created.
Bizcommunity has also done a follow up story on the Read/WriteWeb coverage.

Afrigator has hit yet another milestone and this time we’ve been featured in one of the leading business and technology magazines in the world, Business 2.0.
The CNN backed publication recently picked 31 of the world’s hottest non-U.S. startups of which Afrigator is featured at number 20.
Being featured among big players like Joost and Naspers owned Pixrat is a huge honour for us and now we really have high expectations on us to deliver a better, more streamlined product in the future.
