ITWorld Canada has put together what it considers the country’s 10 top bloggers on the subject of technology. If you’re looking to add to your blogroll, perhaps some of these will be of interest to you.
A shout-out is in order to our favourite Ottawa blogger Alec Saunders, who made the list at No. 7. (We blame Alec for getting us into this.)

Wired has announced that it will be releasing a style manual exclusively for web journalism, addressing the etiquette and ownership issues that aren’t covered by traditional style guides like the Chicago Manual of Style. The line between journalism and blogging, something we have long considered a fiction, becomes even more blurred.

I wrote a quick post yesterday about the horrible things that can go wrong at a trade show. Gremlins, clearly, are equal opportunity mischief makers since everything can fall apart at even the most professional and highest profile of events. Check out this story from the BBC that my colleague, Danny, drew to my attention this morning, where comedian Robin Williams had to come to the rescue of the hapless host.

As PR practitioners, we here at inmedia have spent enough time in trade show purgatory to expunge a lifetime of sins. Still the circuit remains a critical element of the marketing mix for many technology companies and we expect we’ll hang many a lanyard around our necks before our time is done.
What we hope to never encounter is the kind of trade show disasters recounted in today’s Network World. Some of the stories here are older ones, but others are quite fresh. I have to say the one I enjoyed the most was the tale of the hapless Dateline NBC producer who tried to go undercover, complete with concealed pinhole camera, at Defcon earlier this year. This security-focused show, which attracts hackers by the hundreds, has got to be ground zero for the paranoid. Needless to say, it wasn’t long before she was identified and ignominously escorted off the premises.
Murphy, who said, “Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong,” clearly went to a few trade shows in his day.
