Okay I know that Flickr, Flock, StumbleUpon, and WordPress aren’t Canadian per se, but Flickr and SU were born here and both Flock and WordPress have folks up here.

Still this list is very impressive.  CoverItLive is one of my new fav online apps.  If I have a solid net connection at a conference, be sure I’ll be using it to cover the sessions.

There are also several companies on the list who aren’t Canadian, but are ones I really like:


BlogTalkRadio
Audio

Carbonite
Utility & Security

Delicious
Social

Feedburner
Publishing & Photography

FeedHub
Browsing

Firefox
Browsing

Gmail
Communication

OpenDNS
Utility & Security

Picnik

Scrabulous

Skype

Techmeme
Browsing

Technorati
Search & Reference

ThinkFree Online
Productivity

Twitter

Congratulations to all the finalists … this is a great time to try a new app or three.  Sure some of the folks (IE, Yahoo, and all the Live services) are nothing terribly new or innovative, but they do influence the Internet and how we use it.

Update: Thanks to Greg at TechVibes for pointing out that I missed Toronto-based Octopz in my list of Canadian companies.  Cool, another company to check out!

    Tris. Thanks for doing my homework for me. We couldn’t figure out the Canadian ones. Nice that someone out there looks out for the few of us north of the border.

    YW Keith, that’s what I’m here for!
