telecom, technology and the occasional floobergeist

I’ve got an abundance of bits and pieces of canadian telecom and internet experience, and I am thrilled to be in a place in time when all is changing, technology is developing, and the status quo is being disrupted. 

Floobergeist is a word that is beginning to defy definition.  The more I roll that smooth pebble around, the more it becomes to mean. Floobergeist started out as the magic dust that turns dreams into ideas.  And then it began to encompass the zing that happens when you have conversations about those ideas. And now, it’s the whole evolution from dream to conversation, with each step improving the later and the former along the way.

Everyone aspires to good conversations. They can lead you to adventures you’ve never imagined, and to people you can twig with.

Let’s have a good conversation…

welcome.

Ovato, one of the newest web 2.0 apps on the scene, suggests (far be it from me to suggest “promises”) a new method of searching.  It’s collaborative searching.

It was featured in TechCrunch, and also on MapleLeaf 2.0  - and yes, I clicked.
It hurt.
Too many people had bounced on the bandwagon, testing it out. It was rife with ridiculous questions:
I give.
I’m sure it’s reasonable, I think. I will look… and wade through the nonsense that pervades the first page.
