mEgo: Quasi-Canadian Social Networking Play

In Saturday’s National Post, there was a Q&A with Julia Johnson, co-founder and ce-CEO of mEgo Inc., which is developing tools for social networking sites such as MySpace. The product, which is being promoted as “the future of your online profile is good” isn’t slated to launch until next month, and Johnson was asked and didn’t answer any questions about what mEgo will feature. I’ve never heard about mEgo or Johnston, a lawyer and economist who was anointed as one of Toronto’s most eligible bachelorettes earlier this year by the National Post. (Her profile describes as “one of those alpha-females who graduated from Princeton, spent several Chinese moons living in Hong Kong and these days runs marathons in her spare time.) mEgo, which is based in Toronto and Los Angeles, has raised $1.4-million in start-up capital.
