Going Small Screen…
March 7th, 2010 categories: Business, Technology
The man with the biggest TV wins….has been the marketing chant for Home Entertainment Systems…but at the same time…
Technology never slows and keeping up is a full time and expensive job.
A year ago I was given an Amazon Kindle for Xmas and have loved being able to access my own library from the Amazon Bookstore on a moments notice. Then came the Sony Reader and other E-books…Recently, Apple announced it’s latest product the IPad .
I believe that the IPad will be very successful… small screen format is the way of the future and these new tools are tools that provide content through Apps allow the owner to be more mobile…
The point of all this is that we are in the process of mobilizing my websites. The mobile version of www.RichardSilver.com is already launched with Torontoism.com and DowntownTorontoNews.com to follow soon.
If you search www.RichardSilver.com on your Blackberry or IPhone it will automatically recognize that you are using a smartphone and will show you the small screen format. I would like to give a shout out to the team at MobilizeMe.com who have done such an excellent job with the participation of the webmaster of all three site.
Check out www.RichardSilver.c
om on your smartphone and let me know your thoughts… Here is a sample…

Toronto: Why Adam Giambrone Should Not Be Mayor!
February 10th, 2010 categories: Around TORONTO, Downtown Toronto, Toronto
One word:Meglomania!
That a member of Toronto City Council and Chair of a very important City Service would think that running for Mayor would not compromise his decisions, shows that Adam Giambrone views himself as other than human and fallible. His recent apology of having a number of sex partners while being in a “supposedly” committed relationship is the next key. Do we need a “supposedly” committed Mayor?
The fact that the Deputy Premier of the Proviince would step down to run for Mayor, yet the Chair of the TTC does not think there is an issue of running for Mayor and being Chair of the TTC at the same time, leaves me in total doubt of his abilities and those of the group of back room boys that would float his name in the first place.
Torontonians are not that stupid!

GREATER TORONTO REALTORS® REPORT JANUARY RESALE HOUSING MARKET FIGURES
February 3rd, 2010 categories: Real Estate, Toronto
TORONTO, February 3, 2010 — Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 4,986 transactions through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS®) in January 2010. This result represented a large increase over the 2,670 sales in January 2009 when the home sales were in a recessionary trough. Last month’s sales were slightly higher than the January average in the five years preceding 2009.
“The GTA housing market has rebounded well from the lows in sales experienced at the beginning of 2009. Sales climbed back to healthy levels across the GTA because the cost of home ownership remained affordable in the Toronto area,” said TREB President Tom Lebour. Read the rest of this entry »

Every morning I get up, head to the front door, pick up my Globe and Mail and skip happily to the Toronto Section. What happens in the rest of the world and the world economy is important, but nothing engages me like breaking new in Toronto. Sadly, I find myself with the feeling that I am missing a lot of the Toronto goings-on, and head to the Internet going to several sources to keep up to date. Read the rest of this entry »
