Motorola to Release Droid in Canada as “Motorola Milestone”

Motorola-Milestone

I recently posted on FriendFeed when news started to spread that Motorola would be releasing a version of the Droid in Canada with TELUS. We’re not sure for the reason, but it appears they will be calling it the “Motorola Milestone” instead of Droid. One of the interesting points was that the Milestone “will come with multitouch capabilities right out of the box” and a link to a leaked video of it in action. Jeremy brought up the differences between Motorola Droid and the HTC Droid Eris. With most reviews leaning toward the HTC Droid Eris as a better phone we can only hope HTC decided to bring it to Canada. You can see the Friendfeed conversation below:

A couple of weeks ago I got an invite to Google Wave (much appreciated Chris). To test out it’s capabilities, I wanted to test out two things; how well it would work with 200+ members in a single wave, and if it could work as a crowd sourced news aggregator (kind of a Friendfeed replacement). The result was that wave can get pretty messy when you have so many people in a single wave, but served the purpose of crowd sourcing fairly well. One of the cool features of Google Wave is that you can embed public waves anywhere online. Below you can find the wave embedded:

Best Invoicing Software for Freelancers

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

I recently posted an article on FriendFeed which stirred up a conversation around invoicing software for entrepreneurs.  Several alternatives where thrown around, but the two main ones mentioned were the popular Freshbooks and Harvest.   Although they are very similar the general consensus was leaning toward Harvest as the winner. See the conversation below:
