How do I get through to startups for a summer position?
cvinson: We'll actually be posting an opening for an intern at Carleton; we can definitely use a generalist like yourself.  Our company, bandzoogle.com is based in Montreal, but we have employees in the UK and US.  We're not really a "startup" anymore, but we can give you some experience in scaling a web app (we use S3/EC2).  If you're interested, hit me up at chris[at]bandzoogle.com
