From: “AOL adopting XMPP aka Jabber“:
Proprietary protocols are things from yesterday. Today, Opensource technologies are taking over the world! AOL / ICQ has just launched a test server using XMPP, an open technology. This means that you’ll soon be able to talk to your ICQ / AIM contacts via Jabber. Google has already started using it. So who’s next? MSN!
Wow, I’m getting all my wishes these days… I was semi-joking about it the other day. I guess I should do that more often! ;)
From “Semantic Wave 2008 – Free Summary Report for RWW Readers“:
Project10X has just released a 400-page study of semantic technologies and their market impact, entitled Semantic Wave 2008: Industry Roadmap to Web 3.0 and Multibillion Dollar Market Opportunities.

I just filled up the form to get my copy of the summary. It says I’ll get an email with a link within four business hours.
From: “Michel Dallaire will design the new bike sharing system“:
Later this year, Montreal will enjoy the beginnings of a new bike sharing program modeled on Paris’ hugely popular Velib. As we mentioned last fall, the system will eventually include 2,400 bicycles parked at 300 stations across town.
Awesome!
And on a loosely related note, The STM and Communauto also formed an alliance that could be very attractive to many Montrealers.
