Mumbai and Montreal: Connected At The Hip
As you read this, I’ll be dashing to the airport to take off for Montréal.
Wikipedia tells me it’s famous for being one of the “world’s most livable cities” as well as Canada’s cultural capital. I remember it fondly as the home of Cirque du Soleil (a one-time client; image: Naoki Nakashima, Creative Commons) and one of the most charming cities I’ve ever visited… all of eight years ago.
So it’s with a great deal of anticipation that I’m heading there today, to speak at Webcom Montréal.
My cohort is Claude Malaison, with whom I first connected on Twitter during the Mumbai terror attacks.
We’ll be talking about our experience during what must rank as one of the most eye-opening uses of social media (and I don’t mean by us, but by everyone who leaped onto blogs, Twitter, Facebook and the like) to connect across cultures, time zones and languages.
