I’m sorry, but those sites aren’t that good. Poorly designed, poorly executed, and barely usable. I have to say the UofW’s site is a big improvement over it’s old one though. (Although it seems most links actually bring you back to the old design!)

Here are some great (Canadian) sites I’ve taken note of recently.

I didn’t understand that myself, but they tell me it’s Winnipeg-based (somehow).

So because Matthew Corrin, a *former* Winnnipegger in Toronto (via New York->Toronto->Chicago->back to TO) owns Freshii, it’s automatically a “Winnipeg-based” website? I’m confused.

Something bogus about that Web50 presentation. Looks more like a marketing gimmick than anything. Some of those sites look very cookie-cutter.

And they place a NetFirms tile on the main page, even though it’s NOT one of the 50, it’s the site sponsor.
