Technically Philly is a news site covering technology news in Philadelphia.
After the jump, the region’s 30-year-old computer society hosts Far McKon, Prince lasers and local Tablet news.
Philly Tech News reports that five of Business Week’s 25 2009 Finalists for America’s Best Young Entrepreneurs have ties to Philly, four being based in the region, including Notehall, whom we recently profiled.
The Inquirer reports that 30,000 sustainable-building advocates are due to land in Center City come November 2010 as part of an international conference and, uhm, we’re already behind.
The Inquirer’s Joe DiStefano writes about regional native Evan Britton who has founded realtime search engine Sency and intends to move and base the company in Rittenhouse Square.
After the jump, now Boston is talking about the growth of their startup scene, Lockheed Martin invests in wave-energy and nearly 10 more tech stories you should see, including our best read piece of the week.
At least two Ivy League kids graduated in 2006, took fat-salaried jobs at the same New York City equity firm and returned to Philadelphia to reach fame and fortune by mining data for the nation’s small businesses.
The story continues still.
Today is the public opening of RJMetrics, a business intelligence dashboard and brainchild of a pair of 25-year-olds with regional ties: Robert J. Moore and Jake Stein. They want to help small and medium-sized businesses that collect data about their customers better use that information to chart user behavior.
And like any good idea, it came to them while they should have been doing something else.

Two research projects were listed among the nation’s top 10 emerging innovations by Technology Review magazine.
The 2009 version of the annual list from the MIT-published magazine, considered the oldest technology publication in existence, recognized a technique for improving Web access for people in developing nations and a method for more cheaply and quickly sequencing DNA.
The first was the product of Princeton University researchers and the second by a group from BioNanomatrix, a University City biotech firm.
See more about the projects after the jump.
