crowdsourcing and mob4hire and cambrian house and technology

The world of technology is changing everyday.

I see major trends in crowd-sourcing, and the mobile space.

A bit about myself.

I have been in the hi-tech area for over 20 years.

With 2 engineering degrees, I have 6 years experience as a senior management consultant with Ernst and Young.

I was at Wi-Lan (wireless communication) in the early days as director of applications and sales engineering, where we launched the largest educational wireless system in the world.

As director of tower management at Cell-Loc (location technology), we signed deals with 4 of the biggest tower companies in the USA.

At Blister Entertainment, www.blisterent.coma wholly owned subsidiary of Knowledgewhere www.knowledgewhere.com , we launched the first location based games on Mobile handsets in North America. The game Swordfish, won bast game in the Canadian New Media Awards in 2005.

As advisor to Cambrian House, www.cambrianhouse.com , it has been very interesting to be a part of a groundbreaking technology that uses the crowd to achieve their goals.

I am vice president of the Digital Media Association of Alberta.  www.digitalalberta.com
