Simon Botes’s Summary
I like to think i am a reasonably good blogger, beta tester and web2.0 and social media consultant. My passion lies in VoIP and mobile Payment, but most gadgets get my heart beating ;-)
I have a good knowledge of Mobile Payments and when sharEpay does eventually launch it's going to kick serious A$$.
