How technology makes business easier & other wisdom?

It’s not easy running a small or medium-sized business. I know because I’ve done it since 1999, when I started Cyberwalker Media, a boutique Toronto-based agency that produced technology-oriented content for newspapers and websites and eventually television. I’m Andy Walker. You may know me from television shows (the best known was the internationally syndication Call for Help on G4TechTV), through social media (@AndyWalker on Twitter or you can also find me on Facebook), my books, or from the thousands of articles and reviews I have produced over the years for some of the top publications and media outlets.  Of course, you may not know me too. If not, I hope we get to know each other through comments on this blog.What I’ve learned in 13 years is that business is hard and technology makes it easier. So in this new Bell blog, I will show you how you can run your business better, smarter, and more profitably using technology tips, tricks and some unique products and services.
I’m going to cover amazing tools, follow exciting trends and provide handy advice that will help you become a better business owner through technology. Along the way I am going to look at variety of hot topics, including:

• Mobile: How the emerging market of smartphones, tablets, and new connected gadgets can give you an edge in your business .
• Ubiquitous connectivity: The always-connected capabilities of today’s technology can make business life better.
• The Cloud: The Internet can be one big hard drive and a superfast processor and that’s changing life drastically for business owners.
• Digital productivity: How the latest tools can make you more effective in what you do and how you do it.
• Collaboration and project management: Working with others in a digital environment harnesses the power of teams in new unprecedented ways.
• Startups: And how all this amazing technology lets you bootstrap your company from nothing to something in less time, with less money and with bigger rewards.

And, as they say, I’ll be covering much, much more. All this, twice a week, starting now. It’s going to be fun. And together we’re going to learn a lot. You can reach me in the comments below.
