Today on StartupSmart, we gaze into our tea leaves to predict the technology that will get entrepreneurs excited in 2012.

Last year saw a number of tech-based Aussie start-ups make waves both here and abroad. But given the rapid advance of technology, what are the trends you should keep an eye on in 2012?

We’ve picked out the top 10 trends we expect to impact businesses, both as start-up opportunities or ways to make their working lives a little easier.

Elsewhere, we have news of another Aussie start-up success story in the US and we round up the best of the week’s entrepreneurial reading in Weekend Reads.
