Montreal Tech Watch

Dear readers,

I am currently trying to gather blogs and websites about the different topics in MontrealTechWatch (startups, media, telecommunications, mobile, hardware, research and development, video games …), and I thought I could make it as an exercise for “conversation”. I am sure you have realized that today’s economy is largely based upon information, and nowdays, access to information is key for success. And I think the exercise would be useful for anyone, because it might avoid you reinventing the wheel (because you didn’t know somebody else already researched and developed a solution to the problem), and you could also see opportunities. I am especially interested

Obviously, this is not about Montreal, it’s more about blogs or websites that are cutting-edge, insightful, and also who are dealing with the important problems of their field.

For instance, here is a small selection of blogs that I follow, in no particular order:

Springwise highlihght new ideas (as in never done by anyone else) and companies

Lablogatoire, by Samuel Bouchard, blogs about robotics and science

Bokardo is Joshua Porter’s blog, about designing user interfaces, with a focus on the social web

WhiteAfrican reports about web, mobile, technology and opportunities in sub-saharian Africa

httpAsia, a blog about startups in Japan, China, South Korea and South-East Asia

Like It Matters, by Brian Oberkirch, who is leading bloggers into portable social networks, microformats and marketing

iA Japan, a design firm in Tokyo

And you? what do you follow?
