# Dave Carter’s blog

CTO & VP Strategy, iUpload

David Carter spent 11 years at Microsoft, and watched the Internet evolve into the social/business network it is today. During his time at Microsoft, David worked as product manager for products like Windows 95, Internet Explorer, and Microsoft's Internet Server Platform. Prior to leaving he was the Internet Strategy Manager at Microsoft Canada. If there has been a common thread in his roles in the last 10 years it's been driving "participation" on the internet. "Content comes from people. People need to be able to participate easily in order to make the best most relevant content available.", says Carter

### Mesh Toronto a Success

Data Management

Mesh, Toronto's first Web 2.0 conference is over and all-in-all I'd have to declare it a success. Some of the debates that I thought were behind us, were revisited but lots of local folks got to chime in on the topic.

### Voip, Blogs and Retinal Blogging

Data Management

My optometrist was chatting while examining my eyes and of course I worked in some blogging conversation. She confessed to not using the internet much or liking it, except her parents had recently called from a computer while on a trip. I told her that was VOIP. I realized all of our recent technology names sound really stupid. WIKI, BLOG, VOIP. Of course the words sound silly enough when you are ...
