Breakfast with Hugh at Toi Moi & Café (244, Avenue Laurier Ouest, Montreal)

As posted on The Praized Media Product Blog :
We’re very happy to announce that Red Herring Magazine has named Praized Media a finalist for the “Red Herring Top 50 Canada” award, a prestigious list honoring this year’s most promising private technology ventures in Canada. Woot! Congrats to everyone involved!
(yeah I know, I’m getting lazy with this reblogging stuff, but it’s easy and it works!)
As posted on The Praized Media Product Blog :
- Adding a place can now be done from within Facebook. Just click on the “add a place” link below the search box.
- We’ve implemented a better city and state/province detection. It looks at the Current Town information in your Facebook profile and pre-fills the “City” field for you.
- We’re now showing the number of merchants shared by Praizers appearing under the Top Praizers. Now, I wonder why we did that?
- The Top places tab now defaults to your Facebook profile “Current Town”.
- We’ve implemented a link to a dynamic Google Map at the bottom of every map in place profile pages.
- We’ve added a search box in every place profile page, allowing you to do another search directly from each profiles.
More to come!
This is a “work in progress post” as I test a few plugins and tools available to blog about places, starting with our own Praized Plugin for Wordpress, obviously.
One place I really like in Montreal, it’s the physical web zeitgeist spot really, is Laika

Or maybe not, maybe what I write elsewhere should more easily be published here…
We will need to increase the Praized crew soon! Front and back end web developers, ops/sysadmin, community manager, ping me for more info!
You can find info on how to contact me on my contact page (how convenient)!
Will post more on Praized job page soon, thinking about using Standout Jobs to see how well it works…
Having too much stuff to do and not enough time to write makes my Google Shared Items feed the main output I have these days… I even annotate most entries, tumblog style… It should be rewired in this blog soon (I do believe your blog is your network) but until then if you want to follow what I find interesting, you now know where to find it… for now. There’s also a consolidated Friend Feed and a Yahoo Pipe too. Your future (and my present) are atomized!
Update : Did a little housekeeping here, you can now (once again) find my Google Reader shared items, del.icio.us bookmarks and posts from my Franco blog in the right sidebar of this blog.

I will be in the valley all week, kicking it off with Where 2.0 in Burlingame. If you have cool places to recommend around here, vote for them and tag them where20 at www.where2places.com.
