What a biogas!

Young green companies with Toronto roots are branching out at Discovery 09, in the hopes of finding a global market

Lost in the shifting sands of social media

Online friendships are real. Every time social networks migrate, people fall by the wayside. Some people can't be bothered, and others like things the way they are. Just as some people make better pen pals than lunch buddies

Scott Colbourne

Don't blame Francis Ford Coppola

When playing The Godfather II, it's best to forget the films and all other art forms

Ivor Tossell

Libel 2.0 sites are obnoxious and not much else

The fact that reputation-ruining sites haven't gained a lot of traction – despite the best efforts of their self-promoting owners – is more interesting than the sites themselves
