While they're commonplace today, I've not attended a BarCamp or unconference, as Northern Voice's MooseCamp calls itself. I love the decidedly Canadian re-branding of the format by adding some native wildlife. I decided to make MooseCamp useful to me by asking the bright, wired minds in attendance where they see social media going in 20+ […]
And the Gold Medal goes to……… Duane Story! Congratulations, Duane. You've left us all a little bruised and humbled after WWIV: the Vancouver Blogger War. Silver Medal goes to Boris Mann. Hold your head up high, Boris. You were a fierce warrior. And number three, well that spot goes to the agent provocateur of this […]
After a conflagration of immeasurable proportions, where heaving battalions clashed on the plains, and entire communities were razed in a senseless, some say meaningless, war of pings, back links and blog comments, an eerie calm settles over the land. Families, women and children return from exile, to the smoldering ruins of the Great Vancouver Blogger […]
Evil? Oh, Duane. I represent the forces of good. A sort of White Knight of SEO. Today, at this moment the results show me in the #5 spot. So close, yet so far from my goal. Duane, slipping, has been bumped by a meetup page. Miss604, you're back in the running, placed between Duane and […]

"Crap, I lost my wireless connection. Paddle harder!" Jonathon Narvey has thrown down the Google gauntlet. He ranks in the Top Five for the search term "Vancouver Blogger." Okay, Jonny Boy. Game on! Right now my blog has slipped onto the first page of Google results. It feels so close. Duane Story and stories of […]
While not entirely surprising, the fact Robert Scoble said Microsoft Sucks must come as another blow for the software giant. Who’s Robert Scoble, you ask? Probably the most well-known tech blogger in the world, and a recent Microsoft employee (he left them in 2006). I’ve had the chance to chat to Robert at Northern Voice […]
I’m attending the Northern Voice conference on Saturday. Last night I had an unexpected treat when I attended a meet-up organized by the NV gang at the Heritage Hall. Free yummy nosh and free beer paid for by Peer1.net – didn’t expect that. And the place was packed. I met some cool people and had […]
Had lunch with this bunch of geeks: Mark Cantner Tod Maffin Jay Dedman Richard Murray among others… It was fun stuff getting to yak with a bunch of the Blogosphere’s pioneers. I also spoke with Robert Scoble, who is a really nice guy. He even brought his family up to Vancouver from Seattle for the […]
