All the signs are there that South Africa is heading towards a major Internet revolution.

There are South African alternatives popping up for a lot of the international Web 2.0 services out there. Think Muti vs Reddit, Zoopy vs YouTube and Afrigator vs Technorati.

The latest is GatorPeeps, a micro-blogging platform that does what Twitter does, but on a more local level. As with Twitter you are restricted to 140 characters, but with GatorPeeps you can also join certain communities. Sign up at www.gatorpeeps.com. Also check out SA photography magazine Pix’s new Flickr alternative at http://pixmag.ning.com.
