Make Your Own Predictions  |  January 9, 2007  

Welcome to Backbone's new blog, a place of ideas, news and opinions. We hope you'll check back often and comment on what you read here. This section of our site is a great place for us and you to discuss the articles in Backbone and also to chew over the events of the day in the tech and business communities.

Case in point: if you will check your Globe and Mail today you will find our January/February issue with a focus on predictions for 2007. It is also online right on this very website.

We examine seven trends that we think will shape the coming year and impact your business. Read the article, and then let us know what you think by clicking the “comment” link below. Did we miss an important trend, or over-hype one you think is going nowhere? We want to hear about it.

Then read further into the issue, and let us know if your company uses too much paper or loses too many laptops to theft. And, what can we do about the unsavoury aspects of the Internet?

This is your space. Discuss, debate and make your voice heard.
