Raving about OurFaves
This morning started with the discovery of yet another website paradigm. Andria one of my mates from Australian Boot Company in Toronto, emailed me to share that our company had been faved:
We’ve been ‘faved’. It’s a website, ourfaves.com owned by Torstar, and it’s a platform for letting people share their favorite businesses, destinations, products etc. We have two reviews on it. The community development co-orindator was in to tell me about it. Seems interesting. When you google “winter boots Toronto”, it comes up 5th or so as Our Faves – Australian Boot Company.Our faves seems well positioned to take on the world. You will notice if you go to the site that they use toronto.ourfaves.com. A sure sign that this domain name is poised to take on more then Toronto. Mmm let me check what other places they have faved and how they are managing that domain to deal with it. Mmmmm queenstreet.ourfaves.com
No luck. Firefox can't find the server at queenstreet.ourfaves.com So I tried a few more being the curious type I am. Such a great idea they must be onto more. Lots more 404 errors and then I cracked one, I am becoming a hacker... montreal.ourfaves.com

Under Construction
The site you are trying to view does not currently have a default page. It may be in the process of being upgraded and configured.
Please try this site again later. If you still experience the problem, try contacting the Web site administrator.
How exciting. What is even more exciting is that ourfaves.com.au is not registered. I just checked. Gotta go grab that one and bring ourfaves down under or better yet cyber snatch it and sell it on ebay for millions. On second thought I might just save the money for registering the domain and use the money to buy a few of my favourite things when I visit Toronto is a couple of weeks.
Thanks for the fave Andria...a great way to start my day.
