With well over 100 million blogs world-wide, yes, we at DMS are contributing to the proliferation. Technorati tells me that over 175,000(!) new blogs are started each day, and that world-wide, bloggers update their blogs more than 1.6 million times each day. Are we slow to join the cause revolution? Some might say “yes”… others, an emphatic “doesn’t matter, join in!”

Over the course of an average working day (in which I focus on content development of our various corporate and media web sites including DMS, its parent company Multimedia Nova, and sister subsidiaries), it’s not unusual that I come across about half a dozen web sites or blogs I’ve never seen or read before. It’s truly mind boggling the amount of content that’s out there here, not to mention the amount and variety of extraordinary creative execution. Mind boggling (“bloggling”?), sure, but at times, incredibly inspirational and informative.

We will have a few DMS contributors here in the Café, but my own goal is to comment on some web sites I hope will be of interest and value to others – especially sites that contain multicultural elements, or can be connected or market to Canada’s culturally diverse population, or just a simple 10-minute diversion for the day … or all of the above.

At the risk of sounding a little self-serving, our corporate goal is to begin and share in many conversations here … ultimately, to provide true value and relevance to whoever drops by and shares our own enthusiasm and passion for what we do professionally, and pride for where we call home.
