A list of business bloggers in Québec (6)
July 12th, 2007 · by Heri · Marketing
Emergenceweb, a blog by Claude Malaison, has published a list of bloggers who writes for business. I counted 64 of them, mainly from Montréal, a few others from Québec City. 64 is not much by the way, for a province that has more than 7 million population.
The list is a “Work-in-Progress» It’s updated each week and is only a month old With your help, it will grow to list them all. Surely more than a 100!
Speaking of “lists of bloggers”, wouldn’t it be nice to have a “planet” for Montreal technology bloggers? Or maybe there’s already one? If not, here’s the tool someone would need to build one:

I made once the list ot tech bloggers in quebec
http://montrealtechwatch.com/2007/04/08/montreal-bloggers-network-liste-des-blogs-technologiques/
I wanted to build something like techmeme.com but for montreal with that list - but since then i didnt find the time to do it.
In plan also is a Questions&Answers section, a forum, or/and a real-time chat.
There is also the OpenSpace section but this doesnt seem to be too popular.
I guess we will need to discuss all about this (democamp?). It wouldnt make sense to build one and then just get one or two guys using the new service.
also we cant use the venus code. it just aggregates the rss feeds. there are some bloggers who stuff their feeds with del.icio.us links and flickrs pictures etc… I used to subscribe to edito.qc.ca for instance but the noise level was so high that I had to delete the feed after a few days.
so that means we need an ‘intelligent’ tool for this. with some sort of social + algorithmic filtering
Heri >>> Quick remark on your last comment. I have recently discovered and started to use FeedRinse.com. It easily lets you filter any feed. Like this one can keep a feed with del.icio.us and flickr entries for everyone and build a clean version to be aggregated. Could it work like this ?
I do something similar to what Adrien is saying, but providing the clean version myself (see http://pphaneuf.livejournal.com/162775.html to see what I’ve done), otherwise you risk having my insightful posts (say, http://pphaneuf.livejournal.com/158971.html) mixed in with, um, less insightful ones (say, http://pphaneuf.livejournal.com/159337.html). ;-)
We should probably talk to the bloggers before putting them on an aggregator like that, so we could probably figure out a way to have an appropriate feed, or at worse, clean it with FeedRinse.com (which I didn’t know about, I should look into that!). There’s definitely some editorial work in picking out the feeds.
