concept, for helping me refine it, assisting me in roles you handled and finally for being present at the launch! The grace of God was also abundant; I thank the almighty too for his love, kindness and guidance throughout the planning of the launch.I would also like to mention my family, mum and Moshel specifically for their support during this period.I also feel greatly indebted to #KOT and the online community basically, tweeps who shared links to sites with content or features on the launch, bloggers and content managers who published articles on SocialPRO clubs for free; again many thanks for your time and effort!
