Site en WordPress. Servira aussi probablement de fondation au Site du Sommet international du Web de Montréal, donc j’ai certainement un intérêt à ce que ça soit bien fait…

Why don’t developers who build HTML5-based iPhone apps (like the new HTML5 Google Voice app) also syndicate their apps in the App Store? The App Store version would just be an instance of the UIWebView Class on a canvas that displays only the HTML5 app. In other words, the App Store version is just a wrapper for the web version that essentially launches a separate browser just for your app.

Have been thinking about this for a while, that’s a good way to have apps that people pay for with the flexibility of web apps… you only need to optimize for (infrequent) offline usage.

Did you know that you could call the Plug and Play Tech Center home for three months for free?

Canada’s Trade Commissioner Service has established a Canadian Technology Accelerator within the Plug and Play Tech Center providing free services and access to Silicon Valley for Canadian startups. The incubator is open to a limited number of qualified companies AND rent at the facility is fully paid for by the Canadian Consulate for up to three months.

The Canadian Technology Accelerator offers space for one or two employees, for up to six companies at any time as well as an option for a ‘virtual office’. Companies are responsible for living expenses including travel and lodging.

A brand new location-aware app called echoecho promises to make it easy to share your location with people you trust. You can “echo” someone from your existing address book, and if they have the app installed, they receive a push notification and can tap the screen to respond with their current location.

I will be taking care of the unconference part that starts at 3 and looking for a few topics to seed the discussion, any suggestions? Post them in the comments of via twitter/identica with the tag #scmtl6.

Je suis l’archétypal technotwit. Les ordinateurs m’effraient. Les avancées technologiques me font soupirer. Je suis pourtant un nouvel adepte de Twitter, pour ne pas dire un accro fini. Depuis deux mois que j’y suis abonné (c’est gratuit), je n’ai jamais été aussi bien informé. J’avais sans doute des prédispositions par déformation professionnelle, mais, sans le vouloir, je suis devenu du jour au lendemain un véritable news junkie.

Choisir Twitter et ses 140 caractères au détriment du Monde, du New York Times et de la BBC? Yes sir, madame! Pour la simple raison que Twitter donne accès au Monde, au Times et à bien plus encore (…) Je «suis» (follow) également des journalistes, des commentateurs, des artistes, des blogueurs, des recherchistes et autres «pushers de liens» qui ont des intérêts semblables aux miens. Tous me suggèrent quotidiennement des lectures, des disques, des nouvelles, des pensées.

Comme partout ailleurs, il ne faut pas croire tout ce qu’on lit (…) Twitter peut être tout ce qu’on veut en faire. Ce peut aussi être n’importe quoi. Une machine qui s’emballe pour un rien, à l’abri d’aucun dérapage. Mais malgré tout, une maudite belle machine.
