I have always thought I was abreast of such trends and this confirms it. To me being innovative has to be backed up with quality content, something MG have lagged on. Their innovation always opens them up for possible failure when their products, however innovative, don't work in the intended manner (read amatomu there). To me a news site should deliver news and I feel that News24 does that, and well. The Times and IOL make up th pack whilst I dont even bother with the rest to be quite honest. It would be intersting to see how the blogger fraternity would compare to this, maybe a comparison using the Afrigators of the continent?

For instance: Obama was responsible for a lot of visits, but of very short duration, suggesting people got to the wrong place and then left. Good decision to look at domestic uniques, Elan.
