Do you know any Canadian Web 2.0 Companies and/or Entrepreneurs? If you do please comment on this post (see below) and tell me about them or email me (see above). Please be sure to include the company name and a URL. I’m trying to get a list together and I am hoping this is a good way to start. (It’s also an experiment…so please participate!)
Thanks!

I was sitting in an internet cafe in Europe thinking, “wouldn’t it be cool to have a map of this net cafe and the nearby hostels, restaurants and bars?” If you have done the backpacking thing like me, you were most likely walking on foot everywhere… So now I’m back home and I hope that people travelling to Canada, USA, UK, Europe, Australia or New Zealand can make use of Boomtrek with over 1.3 million places-of-interest (business listings) in now over 974 regions. Also, coming this month I will be introducing synchronization of data feeds over Wi-Fi to your Pocket PC handheld with FREE PDA software called Boomtrek m2Logic! See http://www.m2logic.com for info. Safe travels, —James
