Proud!
I think that’s the most prominent words (other than the the obvious South Africa, Bafana and Brazil) on this Wordle I created after analysing the 350+ comments on the Boston Big Picture gallery for the South African Worldcup 2010.
Go and look at the gallery - the photos are stunning!

Realtime Energy Consumption Monitoring for World Cup 2010 Draw in Cape Town
This is a great initiative! Go to http://www.measure2manage.co.za and watch the realtime stats of how much energy is consumed during the draw process.
From their website:
“Eskom has partnered with the Cape Town International Conference Centre (CTICC) and embarked on an energy saving initiative, ‘Measure 2 Manage’, which will measure energy consumption in real-time from 30 November to 7 December, 2009, monitoring the pre-draw and final-draw activities taking place at the CTICC.”
