A few companies and people I didn't even realize were Canadian. <br /><br />One to add would be www.TrendHunter.com and its founder JeremyGutsche.com. Based in Toronto, Trend Hunter is the world's largest trend community with over 35 million monthly views, 110k+ trends, and over 1 million Facebook fans. <br /><br />Jeremy recently won BDC Young Entrepreneur of the year for Ontario and Trend Hunter was recognized as a finalist last year by the CIX as one of Canada's top digital media companiesMarcus Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02347875976690374369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35268624.post-32249352189405474632011-07-05T21:40:09.167-04:002011-07-05T21:40:09.167-04:00Hi Lee:

Canadian talent has a long history of emigrating south. <br /><br />I probably have too many start-ups on my list - unless they have introduced something completely new, have an impressive market share, or sold for an incredible sum of money (as Club Penguin did) they haven't necessarily distinguished themselves to the level of say Bell. (Not that I have the guts to launch a start-up, an incredible accomplishment in itself!)Glen Farrellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12343517452512258227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35268624.post-16042378463698044902011-07-05T21:33:26.639-04:002011-07-05T21:33:26.639-04:00Hi Tara:
Thanks for commenting on my blog (first ...Hi Tara:<br /><br />Thanks for commenting on my blog (first person from the list to do so). I have to say that making this list was significantly more work than I ever wanted it to be. Truthfully, I don't have the time to do it full justice. Also trying to reduce someone's lifework to a few words is rather ludicrous in itself.<br /><br />I do think it is important that aspect of Canada's history and culture be documented and shared.<br /><br />I can't believe, however, that I used the trite terms "guru" and "czar" (almost as bad as "maven"). I adjusted the description to get rid of the offending term (but I just couldn't bring myself to get rid of "privacy czar" yet).Glen Farrellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12343517452512258227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35268624.post-19705054289099643672011-07-05T17:07:25.567-04:002011-07-05T17:07:25.567-04:00Hey there!

I'm actually CEO and Co-Founder of Canadian startup, Buyosphere.com, and though I'm widely known for my work on the social web over the years (book and speaking), I've tried to distance myself from the social media movement since day 1. Still...I shouldn't look a gift list in the mouth, right? ;)Tara Hunthttp://www.buyosphere.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35268624.post-55308629919215830152011-07-04T14:03:49.641-04:002011-07-04T14:03:49.641-04:00Thanks for putting this together.

Another list worth putting together is a list of Canadians working abroad. I haven't seen anything that shows how we're infiltrating the tech space abroad, but I think San Francisco is about 15% Canadian. <br /><br />Perhaps it's time for a Web focused update to the Canadian Conspiracy doc: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0285470/combined<br /><br />And, you can see a lot more Canadian startups here, though it looks like the content won't be fresh for much longer:<br />http://startupindex.caLee Dalehttp://yousayyeah.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35268624.post-90310749843131433442011-07-03T21:23:19.540-04:002011-07-03T21:23:19.540-04:00Piccsy is Canadian, I think.
