Map of the Web in Montréal

By Heri Jun 28th 2007 in Business

map of the web montreal

There is a new new updated version with the STM network

The inspiration comes of course from IA JP

The map is not complete, it is a visual representation of people and projects I know of or have seen in Montreal. There are also people who are on multiple projects and I couldn’t solve yet their “visual proximity”.

    twtspire.com| idea for the next startup = One Tweet Away?

    Startups solve problems. So if you find a problem there’s probably a startup idea lying somewhere nearby. A Montreal developer Kenji Williams developed an app called twtspire.com that scours twitter and automatically detects tweets from people that wonder why a solution doesn’t exist for a specific problem they’re having. Here are example of tweets from [...]

    I see that I have my own “metro station”, cool! :)

  • Fred June 28, 2007

    Hey that’s really cool. I don’t know how to read it yet though. I’ll have to stare at it a little longer. :)

  • Warren Wilansky June 28, 2007

    Interesting, but I hope that the Montreal Web is a lot bigger than that!

  • Heri June 28, 2007

    @warren of course it’s bigger. I only represent websites and stuff that appeared on montreal tech watch.

    Fred — just remember the paris metro system. (although I think I should put a hint for every station)

  • Marc Chriqui June 28, 2007

    Cool!

  • Aurelie June 29, 2007

    You should add UNYK.com… a Montreal start-up that specializes in contact management…

  • Carl June 29, 2007

    That is really cool. Would love to talk about it on branchez-vous.com but BV isn’t mentionned … I’m sad …

  • Heri June 29, 2007

    hi carl, I will update the map

    thanks aurélie. if you have another website in mind, leave a comment and I will add it

  • Martin Lessard June 29, 2007

    I must say I’m pleased to be subway station in your network. Thanks! I’m sure it will expand as Montreal has a lot of unknown resourses to be discovered.

  • Marc Snyder June 29, 2007

    Being between Martin and Mitch is a pretty good place to be ;-)

    Great idea.

  • Sebastien Provencher June 29, 2007

    So cool! Thanks for acknowledging our existence even if we’re still in stealth mode! (lots of work going on behind the scenes…) :-)

  • macournoyer June 29, 2007

    I’ve never stayed that close to work! Thanks Heri!

  • Patrick June 29, 2007

    Very picky remark: you should twist the blog line a tad so it goes through Yulblog.

    Pecha Kucha and Boris should probably have a station too.

  • Mitch Joel July 02, 2007

    This is awesome.

    If you want a more accurate pinpoint of me, my offices are just above Cafe Melies… so I should be a little more south compared to where I am ;)

    Let’s get some t-shirts made up of this.

    :)

  • Heri July 02, 2007

    Hi there

    thanks for the feedback everyone. it’s very appreciated.

    patrick: i will update the map soon – when i find a better solution to pinpoint everyone

    hey mitch. ok but that would twist the podcast line. :-)

  • Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino July 04, 2007

  • ipub July 10, 2007

    ipub is not on the map ! Too underground maybe !

    what about the RSS line and stations ?
    what methodology do u use to create the map ?

  • Heri July 10, 2007

    ipub is not on the map because you can see it as montreal tech watch’s blogroll. but as many readers mentionned, I forgot to include many stations. i should put ipub in the next version. by the way, there was no formal methodology behind the map. it’s an ongoing and continuous work. there is a more recent map by the way if you go through the blog.

  • ipub July 11, 2007

    tx Heri 4 the answer ;-)

    Salut,
    Of course, the digital arts are not much included, even if many people use FLOSS. See http://wiki.dataflow.ws/PdMtl for instance.

  • Heri July 18, 2007

    hi alex
    what do you mean of course?

    this is not a map of all websites in montréal. as i said, this is a map of people and companies I have met, seen or interacted with
