Good Morning, Toronto Startups and Entrepreneurs!
Last week we heard Google+ reached more 10 million users. If you haven’t heard of Google+, please come out from under that rock! I’ll be interested to see if Google can finally get social right.
This week there are a few events to keep you busy – I’ll be hanging out at the GROW Conference Pre-Party on Tuesday. There will be a great CVCA event about Building Strategic Partnerships with a GREAT panel; there will also be a number of great speakers at this week’s CrossMediaTO. Toronto StartupDigest readers were also given a special rate to attend GROW Conference in Vancouver, care of the C100 (AccelerateTO). Thanks!
Toronto StartupDigest is curated by:

Will Lam – Founder of Date Ideas and keeps a blog on Entrepreneurship
Josh Sookman – CEO, Guardly

CrossMediaTO
When: July 20 at 6pm
Where: The Spoke Club, 600 King St. West, Toronto, ON
Each month we focus on one of the 5 key cross media sectors (motion, mobile, marketing, publishing, gaming). We find local speakers who are experts in their sector. We ask them to present, then discuss their business model, and take questions from the audience. The evening is about networking and knowledge sharing.
Ruby Hack Night

Where: Influitive’s Office, 457 Richmond St. West, Suite 200 Toronto, ON
If you haven’t been living under a rock for the past few months, you’ve probably noticed that Rails 3.1 is due to be released very soon. The Rails core team has announced a weekend hackfest to polish up Rails 3.1. Since this was so close to our hack night date anyway, we’re going to join the hackfest and host the live Toronto Rails 3.1 Hackfest. Details on the hackfest are here.
