82000 Reasons Blog

This is a great idea.  Our friends at OCRI and Market2World have created a really unique site that allows people in the technology sector in Ottawa to share their stories.  The site is called 82000 Reasons because there are 82000 technology workers in this town.  They even have prizes: 

The best story contributions will qualify for prizes, including round trip tickets on a new Ottawa-to-Frankfurt direct flight starting June 1st, 2008, courtesy of Air Canada and the Ottawa International Airport Authority, and BlackBerry Smartphones, courtesy of Research In Motion (RIM). The winners will be announced at the annual OCRI Awards on April 3rd, 2008.   

 So far this looks like a great site that I hope continues to grow!
