Thanks to Austin, I’ve found an interesting angle to blog about the Web 2.0 Conference in SF. Borrowing from Austin’s insightful post, here is a list of Canadian companies that attended the conference. It is quite a nice long list indeed. (smile)
Brainpen (Les Cedres, Que.), Business Objects (Vancouver, BC), Cambrian House (Calgary, AB), Canoe/Quebecor Media (Montreal, Que.), Coradiant Inc. (Montreal, Que.), Cre8Object Corp. (Ottawa, Ont.), Flickr (I still consider the team Canadians even though they are in their new office in San Fran), Freshbooks.com (Toronto, Ont.), Geosign Corp. (Guelph, Ont.), Hydro-Quebec (Montreal, Que.), Indigo Books and Music (Toronto, Ont.), Radialpoint (Montreal, Que.), Sympatico/MSN (Montreal & Toronto), Torch Partnership (Toronto, Ont.), Tourism BC (Vancouver, BC), Tucows (Toronto, Ont.), Uniserve Communications (Vancouver, BC), Wanted Technologies (Quebec City, Que.), Yahoo Canada (Toronto, Ont.) and the Yellow Pages Group (Toronto, Ont.).
P.S. Last week, I thought of blogging about the conference by compiling a blog entry about various people’s experiences at the conference (including John Markoff’s article in the NYT, Peter Rip’s feeling that it is a waste of time (and $2500) and Tim O’Reilly’s rebuttal of John’s article, etc.). But somehow that just seemed too negative a post. So I am glad to have something positive here. Thanks Austin.

My pleasure. The audio interviews from Web 2.0 might be up tonight. It depends how long it takes me to do my Dragon’s Den follow up post. There is an interesting twist coming in the recap show tonight and I plan to comment on what it means for the company in question.

Hi Austin,
I really look forward to the Web 2.0 audio interviews and your Dragon’s Den follow up post. I will be working on my DD follow up post as well. It should be interesting to read yours after I finish mine.
