Thinking of a community-of-interest web portal or even just a personal or small business information space where you can show your wares and blog your thoughts but don't want all the headaches of keeping your own server up, running and updated? Vancouver's new drupal-hosting service Bryght may be just what you're looking for, on the right road and going in the right direction ...

We believe in open formats and standards, and our team is actively involved in the community. Through our development efforts and partnership agreements, our goal is to continue to provide innovative solutions that help people with their content, communities, and communication.

Bryght is an all-star team of prominent minds in blog tech both here in Canada and abroad who have pooled their talents to take Drupal and state-of-the-art weblog infoware out into the mainstream. And they're going at this in a big way, rolling out well-executed pilot sites like the music portal Sudden Thoughts and community portal Urban Vancouver -- if you pay for your hosting, you might want to give these people a closer look.

Not to draw too many parallels, but you could think of Bryght as TypePad++ in the free world, all the joys of easy weblogging without the closed-source headaches.
