Fantastic stuff. Time has such a great reputation and always manage to get their sources to rally around topical stuff.

Visit Time for their great photo-essay on Madiba. I would love to know where the narrator got the information for the piece? Such definitive language use: “Defined his life” “Changed him forever”.

I would suggest that you see more from this particular issue of the time, it’s always a good read!

I would like to draw your attention to the fact that it’s Nelson Mandela’s month of celebration. Let’s be honest, a man like Madiba can’t merely have a single day to celebrate his 90th birthday.

He held a 46664 concert in London, a friend of mine sat next to him on the plane back from that wearing shorts and a t-shirt and Mandela still spoke to him for a while. That’s incredible.

And now it seems as though the trend online is to create special reports, dedicated pages or homages to the man himself.

I have picked my favourite two and suggest that you visit them.

First off the gentlemen from Zoopy have once again impressed me with their incredible design touch and depth of content. Their Madiba page leaves little to the imagination, everything you could possibly want in multimedia content is there for your to see.

Their dedicated page is filled with pictures, video, photos and you are able to leave your comment to Mandela on the page. I suggest you do that! If you have a Zoopy profile and have content of Mandela that you would like to share be sure to tag the content with “madiba90″ and it will pull through to the page. If you don’t have a Zoopy account, get one.

Next is the News24 Mandela page.

This page screams of class, sophistication and honour. The perfect way to dedicate a page to Nelson Mandela.

Their content is much more historical and educational. You can read/listen to speeches from Madiba, you can view a timeline of his life, watch video, see photos and view soundslides of his past. All in all a fantastic tribute to Mandela on his 90th Birthday.

For some reason there has been no publicity around this neat little website.

As many of you might know Nelson Mandela is turning 90 this year and the race is one to send him birthday wishes!

At the moment Tanzania is topping the charts with the most birthday wishes sent. South Africa is up there, but lagging behind and I think that we all need to show support for the man and his legacy. Go ahead, send him a wish.

And, and by the way, if you do send in your birthday greetings you will be rewarded with a free music download… Queen, ofcourse.
