Naveen Polapady isn’t just an innovative chef, he’s making a name for himself as an innovative businessman. As the owner of Maroli, the only Malabari restaurant in Toronto, he knew he couldn’t wait for someone to throw a festival featuring the cuisine of his home region in India – so he decided to create one himself. Malabar is in the northern part of the south-west Indian state of Kerala. South of the more well-known Goan ...

As of right now, Twitter is essentially dead to me. And surely to some of the over 700 followers of blogTO on Twitter. And to people all across Canada. Twitter made a shocking announcement earlier today that service providers in Canada are charging too much to make outgoing Tweets via SMS possible. As a result, the Twitter experience is no longer the full Twitter experience - effective immediately. More...

As I mentioned in yesterdays post - companies send us stuff. Often stuff that we can't use in our regular articles because it's not Toronto-specific. This includes books. Sometimes they just appear at my door unannounced. And while some readers might think this makes mine the dream job, keep in mind that I'm expected to write about said free books, so unless you were one of those keeners who loved writing book reports back in ...

It’s the third Thursday in November and wine drinkers will know that means the annual release of Beaujolais Nouveau - the first wines of the 2008 season - and the accompanying celebration. Beaujolais Nouveau is made with the Gamay grape and was first created a hundred years ago in France as a wine to be drunk to celebrate the end of the harvest season. Without the addition of oak ...

Shortly after Mother’s Dumplings started getting good buzz in the food-loving community, the husband came home with some leftovers from his lunch there and it’s been on my to-do list ever since. Maybe it’s because I tend to gravitate to Spadina when visiting Chinatown, or ...

Since it was bought out by Rogers in 2004, Fido has always been somewhat of a discount brand in that it offers relatively cheap plans and an abundance of phones that can be had for little or no cost. Despite the fact it sells the iPhone 3G, Fido has in the past year become more and more of a discount brand as it started to heavily advertise plans starting at $17.50 per month that were ...

Last week I reported that Facebook had begun testing a new form of sponsored event ads. Today the first branded Facebook event appeared on the site homepage. This event was for Starbucks’ election day free coffee offering. The event has so far attracted close to 38,000 users and it continues to grow. As I wrote when this new form of advertisement was first spotted, this is a substantial revenue opportunity for Facebook. Why? Well Facebook ...

As I frequently write, Facebook has been growing at an insanely fast pace. The company has grown to become the largest social network worldwide and it doesn’t appear to be slowing. As such, even with over $250 million in the bank as of less than 12 months ago, the company may be searching for funding yet again according to Mike Arrington. How does he know this? Well he points to Gideo Yu, the company’s CEO, ...

Earlier this week Bono made headlines after photos of him partying with two 19 year old girls in St. Tropez surfaced on Facebook. The photos were taken by Andrea Feick and apparently were published to her profile. Sophos security has concluded that the reason these images surfaced was that Andrea Feick did not update her privacy settings and as a result, other people in her geographic network were able to view her profile and photos. ...
