So, a small shameless plug:
CDF has won the ICT Award 2007 for our flagship product CDF Snip.
How? Well remember back in July when I used to complain about the quality of engineering resources? Since then I’ve met some people who’ve really made me a believer again.
Our team of engineers are now the few, the proud, the fire-bellied guys who are fearless about doing the impossible — all the while demonstrating thought-leadership and creative analysis. They have insight in security, usability, architecture, performance and other specific areas. The best part of my day now is that I can learn from them and together we all increase our collective knowledge.
This team put in the extra hours and made the extra effort to make sure our product’s experience followed our concepts - these people deserve the award.
We’re still going to be in stealth mode for a bit but I’m thankful to P@SHA and the judging committee for giving us some ratification on our product and direction.
CDF Snip is the second product out of CDF - the first being Green & White as a content platform.

Congrates Osama! I guess like everyone else, I’m very keen in a demo of the app. Another rightful winner Amaana, I’m very hopeful that through this alternative medium better solutions can be made!
