Message to Business Owners:
For those of you coming from the TO Business newsletter - a special hello! As part of the web re:Brand project, we're focusing on the Doing Business portal of the toronto.ca website
We're realy amped up about making this process a user centric one. We're living by the credo that the user rules. This is a change in our thinking and we need your opinions and thoughts to make the website come alive for you.
We want to hear first-hand about your experience using toronto.ca as a Business Owner. We can’t do as good of a job without you ... so please take a moment to engage here with us via comments on the blog. We want your feedback - good or bad - we want it all!

The Center for Media Research has released a study by Vertical Response that shows just where many of these ‘Main Street’ players are going with their online dollars. The big winners: e-mail and social media. With only 3.8% of small business folks NOT planning on using e-mail marketing and with social media carrying the perception of being free (which they so rudely discover it is far from free) this should make some in the banner and search crowd a little wary.
