The new site, inspired by the now immortalised on-air showdown between eNews presenter Chris Maroleng and AWB secretary-general André Visage, pulls together the plethora of online content generated since the 7 April incident –- providing the user with a sort of highlights reel of all the best “hits”.
The site, which was created by Durban-based developers Marc Forrest and Patrick Mckay, went live amidst the craze and has apparently registered more than 12 000 page views to date.
Forrest told Memeburn.com: “Initially it was more for a laugh, but then when it got a mention on 5FM from Fresh on his show, and the site got over 3 000 hits in an hour. We knew we were onto something. So we stuck up a bit of advertising, and made back our cash for the domain and a couple of beers.”
When asked whether or not he thought there was a market for doing similar types of meme-based sites in the future, Forrest said: “There is definitely a ‘market’ for these types of meme sites.
“This was a fantastic experiment, and it looks like there is a market for this, especially in South Africa, where internet users still use email to send these type of memes to friends,” said Forrest.
