Week That Was – 2008-07-10

The entrepreneurial buzz is alive and well across Canada, over the last few months I’ve come across countless people who have ideas for new starts ups they’d like to launch.  With new innovations in technology the cost to create and launch a new web-based service has never been so low.  As we are now into the second half of 2009 we are going to start to see a new generation of technology companies start to unfold.  The Microsoft, Yahoo of the world are all trying to re-invent themselves, and this leaves a door open for the new school of the internet. What role will you play?
