One of the clearest, most avant-garde-while-pragmatic thinkers and doers I know. How can I have overlooked Harold Jarche ?

Seams to me those hard core trad birds would be harder and harder to find as all goes digital.

I think I tried to give some guidelines in the post, but I should have been more clear: "who do you think are some of the people who are writing, or doing, the most innovative digital stuff in the country?" so: I think it's up to writers to decide, and they seem to have. the second question: "why a list?" ... I am just curious about the people all of you think are doing, writing, thinking interesting things. And by posting with "Top 10" in the title, well... you see what happens. wow this post keeps on giving…

I think I tried to give some guidelines in the post, but I should have been more clear: “who do you think are some of the people who are writing, or doing, the most innovative digital stuff in the country?” so: I think it’s up to writers to decide, and they seem to have.

the second question: “why a list?” …
I am just curious about the people all of you think are doing, writing, thinking interesting things. And by posting with “Top 10″ in the title, well… you see what happens.

Bilinguale people will surely have a wider pool to choose from (as I think was what Sylvain meant --and as Jon showed quite clearly in his choice). Seems to me always as hazardous task to narrow it down to a short list of ten (I admire ones who deal with such challenge) whithout falling into some "representation issue" (hey you forgot Nunavut! Hey where are the albinos?). For sure spanish and innu speaking thinkers in Canada won't show up in my list, not because there aren't good, but I can read them. I apologize in advance. Seb Paquet Houssein Ben-Ameur (Hou-Hou blog) Mario Asselin (Mario Tout de Go) Jean-Michel Salaün (UdeM) Gaël Laliberte (paquerettes.wordpress.com) Clément Laberge (Remolino) François Guité (relief) Mitch Joel Jon Husban Michael Giest Sébastien Provencher Sylvain Carle Dave Pollard Stephen Downes et j'en oublie sûrement...
