Cerebra

One of the most exciting projects Cerebra has had the opportunity to work on is IS Labs, an 'initiative by Internet Solutions that challenges South African Internet users to submit ideas to make the Internet better in South Africa'.

The site was modelled on the phenomenally successful Dell Ideastorm - a social bookmarking platform that offers anyone with access to the Internet the opportunity to contribute ideas for improving the laptops they use every day, from packaging to build quality, to software provisioning.

IS Labs has already enjoyed positive reviews from both the press and bloggers alike. It has been featured on Ruben Goldberg's Classic FM show titled 'The Internet Economy', The Mail & Guardian's Tech Leader, and of course social media guru, Mike Stopforth's blog.

The true test of the impact of a site like this is whether or not it is actually changing the local Internet landscape as it promises to. The good news, and credit goes to the enthusiastic IS Labs team here, is that the suggestions coming through are being processed and acted upon. It's a testimony that great companies willing to stick their necks out can really make a difference!
