1. minivans.ca – This is a WordPress-based website with a few pages of content all about minivans. There is also a Twitter account which would be given to the new owner (@minivans, with a whopping 46 followers no less).
2. MovieTrailer.ca – A WordPress-based website to show off your favourite movie trailers.
3. Tweetlebrity.com is perhaps our most ambitious project to fall on its face. A beautifully-designed WordPress blog all about celebrities on Twitter. I think it has huge potential with the right TLC. There is a not-that-great Twitter account that the new owner will be given (@tweet_lebrity, yup with the underscore).
4. GotMono.com – A forum all about the Mono operating system (an open source .NET project). The forum is still active, after 8 years. There are thousands of pages on this website as a result of it’s longevity!
5. reward.ca – So many possibilities, this website currently features a PHP website with 7 pages of badly dated copy.
6. elect.ca – A small PHP website with some information about politics in Canada. Optional domain alias electing.ca is available, too.
7. CanWire.ca – This site has been taken offline, but have a look at archive.org for the general idea. It is a PHP/MySQL website that allows an “Editor” to add news articles and sources, and have the database show the latest news on a daily basis. There is a built in archive to show by date, as well. There is an associated Twitter account (@CanWire), and Facebook Page that will be given to the new owner.

In what is quite a departure from many of our previous sites, the approach was to invite authors from across Canada to participate collaboratively in a new venture. Topics will be on all range of food and drink – restaurant reviews, recipes, culinary tips, industry info, beer, wine, coffee, spirits, and more.

By many measures, it has been our most successful project to date. In the first week there were over 1,000 visitors, and over 2,000 website views. If things continue, we predict it will eclipse YourCanada.ca as our flagship website within 6 months.

In an interesting twist, we used social media, primarily Facebook and Twitter, to recruit authors. While we had supposed that this would be a good recruiting method, we were shocked at just how successful this method was; as such, we plan on using it again for future projects.

Please have a look, and let us know what you think!

We have built out quite a network for people to share their love of Canada with others. Check out the following, too:

• Canada’s Social Network
• Your Canada on Twitter
• Your Canada on Flickr
• Your Canada on FriendFeed

The new website replaces oCanada.ca, which was in operation for 9 years, and was for many years our “flagship” website.

It’s an exciting new direction, bringing the concept of a website to celebrate Canada into the social media age.

We hope you enjoy it!

The concept is very simple. We find high quality movie trailers for some of the best films in Hollywood, new and old, and make them available in one convenient place.

Once you see the trailer, you can rate it, too.  How does it look to you?

Please send suggestions for trailers to feature to us.  We only embed high quality video, though – so make sure it’s good.  If it’s an old film, that’s fine too.

We created tweetlebrity to watch the Celebrities on Twitter.

• How are they using it?
• What are they up to?
• What celebrity news (or gossip) breaks on Twitter?
• What other social media are celebrities embracing?

Yes, it’s a blog, but it will be so much more! Stay tuned.

Follow tweetlebrity on Twitter!

The topic being discussed was Twitter, and it’s recent popularity.

VegasCanada.com

The new VegasCanada.com design was launched today.

VegasCanada.com began its life featuring Las Vegas travel information for Canadians.  The content is now generic enough to appeal to Las Vegas travelers and enthusiasts from around the world.

Features of the new design include:

• A new logo.
• A striking new header featuring our original photography.
• A stand-out Photos section.
• Updated content.
• Using WordPress, comments are now permitted on every page.

Look for more content over the coming months on this and our new VegasBlog.ca website.

eBrands Media Group

We are happy to announce that the eBrands Media Group website has been relaunched using the WordPress platform.

Keeping news up to date on the website is far simpler using WordPress, and the new platform makes receiving feedback far easier – making it an ideal platform for the eBrands website.

Most of the previous design was retained, with a few minor revisions.

This site will be exactly what the name implies, a Las Vegas Blog.

We have an amazing collection of photos, and have been to so many conventions in Las Vegas, that we felt this site was overdue.

Enjoy, and please send your feedback.

ROFL.ca

eBrands Media Group is proud to announce the launch of ROFL.ca, a humour website.

This website replaces the legacy Super Spoof Productions website, in existence since 1999.

The new approach is to make the content far more accessible using the WordPress platform, tags and categories, rather than the stale menu system previously used.

The new name also reflects the more generic nature of the humour from the previous site (yes, we have spoofs, but we have a number of other categories as well).

Enjoy Canadian Humour at its finest with this latest offering.
