To enter, visit the Rogers booth at the CNE during the Contest Period and identify yourself with a Rogers representative to receive instructions how to participate in the Contest.

This is an innovative use of 2D codes in events. I see 2D codes used a lot more in promotions in the events.

Startuply: Startup Jobs

Once you have worked in a startup, I guess you always want to work in a Start up. Came accross this interesting site that posts jobs only in Start ups. Statuply provides jobs listing only from Startups and in a very starting up look and feel.

The Company details page provides the goals, products and team information. The thing I like the most about the site is that it lists two very important things about the Startup that a job seeker must consider in a startup : "Funding" and "Current Team size".
