Top 10 APril 25: Montreal Is blooming: keep ur eyes on the road

TOP 10:

1.Hockey fever: GO HABS GO!!!! It's official, Montreal has lost it's mind over hockey. It's alright though, I've been told by a judge and an emergency doctor that crime and injuries have been on teh downside ever since the Habs have been in teh payoffs. I guess those 2 werent paying attention during the riots, but thats the beauty of averaging things out.

2.The weather! I know it can sound pathetic to a non-Montreal, but weather here is serious stuff. No kidding Météomedia is one of the most visited websites, and weather here could be compared to soccer in latin american countries. It's critical to the well being and functionning of our nation. People know more about barometers and anti-cyclones and cold fronts than they understand about the house of commons. And in the last 3 weeks, weather has been good. So people are happy. That and lets remember that Montreal in the summer is an inspiring site. ;-)

3.TQS loses news. That is huge news! The same morning CBC announces internal reorgs. Traditional media is in somewhat of a bind. I am writting a longer post specifically to address this, but essentially, it's a big WE TOLD YOU SO.

4.ATTENTION ALL HIPPOs, A BRAND IS NOT A LOGO.

5.Avinash Kaushik rocks. Even if Google Analytics doesn't rock my world so much lately, I think Avinash is great. Saw him and chatted some up with him in Montreal last week, and very impressed. This pluggin for Google Analytics (sigh) is actually really cool. Take the time to instal it, it's not an intuitive instalation but try it, it works after a couple of bugs are ironed out. It works and answers the simple question "WHO IS SENDING ME UNUSUAL TRAFIFC"

6.BonjourQuebec and URLS: Amazing post by Michelle Blanc, her post rocks! She actually scooped everyone on this news, letting everyone know that you could find an adult website on a governmental url (with a slight twist).


7.How many planets do we need to sustain your lifestyle?
Shameless work self promo.

8. Very clever POP-UP video application by Revolver 3, works amazingly and is loads of fun.

9.Ile-sans-fil is a lifesaving tool. Especially when you can work and eat at the same time at le Titannic, hmmmm, Coconut Chicken.

10.The twitter posts of Marco Gervasio. Clearly the most inspiring, refreshing and sobering part of my day.
