in This could actually work: MySpace Music on Mathew's comments
Kinda weird that had you agree to an embargo to a service not available in Canada. Also, I thought you normally don't agree to them?

I only agreed to the embargo because someone else at the Globe had already agreed and I didn't want to wreck it for them. As it turns out, a UK publication broke the embargo.

in Announcing Startup Nation - Canada’s Conference for Startups - November 13-14 on StartupNorth
Awesome, very much interested in this event. How do you envision Day 1 being presented - will attendees have to choose between sessions?
For the guys who want to attend and can't afford it right now, pick up a quick gig on craigslist and put the money towards the conference.

You will have to choose a bit, yes., but there will be two "tracks", Track 1 is focused on people who have never had a startup before and want to learn the ropes,.
Track 2 is focused on people with startups, but who want to take it to the next level.

Of all the things you can write about, it's this?

I admit it probably doesn't interest that many people, but it
interests me -- and it's my blog, which means (I'm pretty sure) that I
get to write about whatever I want. By definition, some things are
only going to appeal to a small number of people -- and some
(possibly) might appeal to none at all. Plus, it was late at night :-)

I'm not so sure why you would give glowing remarks to a frame-based app....I can't bookmark an article I see through the service to my browser and I'm sure there are other frame based usability issues with the service. I'm all for simplifying a web experience but I'm not sold on this service.

Right, but it's not really a bookmarking service, it's all about browsing. That's it. That's the extent of it. I really did enjoy using it. It could use some more attention on the details, but the basics are quite good.

Checked out the site and it's weak. Flash based interface, very few news items, poor layout...makes this DOA. I'm all for a filter for all the noise but this site doesn't do it.

@John, hmmmm I just viewed the source code and there definitely isn't any flash, it's a bunch of tables and image links. You sound like you really know what you are talking about.
Lowell Goss
The LOUD3R sites do not use flash at all. Were you looking at the widget page?
If you get a chance please click through to one of the network sites from the LOUD3R homepage.

I wish them luck but when I tried to launch a similar service, we found that people were less willing to share deals. They just wanted a service to serve deals up. Unless there is some monetary reward, most people won't participate.
