It’s a busy time here at b5media. We’re growing, expanding, and gearing up for great stuff. We got word internally last week that Rachel Segal is joining us at b5 media–word is as a marketing honcho–which is very, very cool. I waited until Rachel had made this public before I blabbed–good thing I didn’t have […]

We’re just getting better and better over at b5media. Yesterday marked the début of Vancouver’s Colleen Coplick as the new blogger on BuzzNetworker. Of course this is great for b5 and Colleen, but it’s also a reflection of how Canadians and Vangroovy folks are tuned into social media.
Colleen opened up with an aptly-named post, Introduction, […]

This morning Rick Segal was here for the Victoria VC Roundtable . One of the things that I really like about Rick is that he is passionate about the companies he invests in, but the thing I like most is that he is unabashedly pro-Canadian. Rick, like me, is American–I took the leap and […]

However it […]

Vancouver-based Strutta has finally launched to the world after being a hot presenter recently in Vancouver. Strutta was on a lot of people’s lips at SXSW and I begged for an invite (yes, begged). Jordan Behan emailed me last week with a heads up that they were launching today.

Last week I challenged the Kool Mornings team of Robin and Frankie to set up a blog. Not only that, I said I’d come in and help set it up live on the air. They took me up on it, as you know, and this morning it all came together.

I talked about Joshua McKenty’s BuyItLater last week and I alluded to an upgrade that was in the works that was both innovative and potentially controversial. Joshua wrote about the changes on Friday and with change, comes questions …
There are two questions that people have asked me, so far:

Morning radio shows should have blogs don’t you think? There are always funny stories, community projects, contests, something to talk about. Well the morning show I listen to on 107.3 Kool FM here in Victoria doesn’t have one so, I sent Robin Farrell this email yesterday morning:
