Chris Long featured in IT World Canada

Well.ca Lead Developer, Chris Long, was featured in IT World Canada for the community-project he is working on, StartupIndex.ca. Also quoted in the article is Jevon MacDonald from StartupNorth.

StartupIndex is a website that lists all the startups and investors in Canada.

I am so glad to get the chance to work with Chris on this project, and it’s great to see the fame he’s getting. He did a great job on the site. This is a perfect example of an application that finds a specific need in a niche community and solves it with simplicity and style. I am glad, also, that Chris isn’t focusing making money with the project — instead he’s focusing on solving a problem that was bothering him and his peers (namely: finding clear, unbiased information on startups and investors in Canada).

Chris has a very “Craigslist-like” community perspective on the project which I think is smart.

Congrats Chris. When you become uber-famous, don’t forget us!
