Roland Tanglao graduated from the University of Waterloo with a degree in Systems Design Engineering. Working at Nortel Networks, he ran its first internal corporate blog focusing on developer relations. Roland has been blogging since 1999, and was the first business blogging consultant in Canada.

Roland is a passionate advocate of blogs, RSS and social software as a means for online expression for people, organizations and businesses. He truly believes in 'creating compelling content constantly' as his over 15000 photos on flickr and the many blogs he updates regularly attest.

Roland is one of the founders of Bryght and as Bryght’s Chief Blogging Officer, he reads hundreds of blogs daily through his RSS reader and participates in many online communities. He is an expert community manager, with UrbanVancouver.com and his personal restaurant review site, VanEats.com, being the two best examples.

Roland does not really believe in top ten lists but he is considered a top tech blogger and has been ranked as a top blogger by the Always On Network and Feedster.
