The alarm clock has made a list of top web startups in Canada. Weblo, a virtual real estate website and OZ, a mobile messanging company makes the top list.

It also mentions Airborne Entertainement, NuVu.tv, Tungle, and Inpowr as runner-ups. This makes a list of 6 “startups” to watch in Montreal, while Toronto and Vancouver gets 7 each.

Suprisingly, Ottawa, often nicknamed as Canada’s Silicon Valley, only have 1 in the list.

Heri, regarding Ottawa’s ‘poor’ showing in alarm:clock’s list, I think Montreal (and Toronto and Vancouver) has something going for it above and beyond Ottawa.

Ottawa is very good at technological innovation, developing and designing the bones for the technologies and networks of tomorrow. Montreal, due to the innovative, creative and artistic forces at play here, is in a better position to create the applications and content that will operate on these new technologies.

In my opinion, these things are what make technology really interesting… how we use it, how we develop new ways of doing things thanks to it.

Hi Eric

That’s true

I am also thinking that size matters too, and more importantly the number of people working and doing things in technology
