Internet , a new year!

What is going to happen in the internet industry, which companies will evolve, which will fall down on their current status!?

I have read all the posts last week about the predictions, some lame, some great!

What do I think:

1) don't predict a whole year, no one is that good! believe me!

2) Digg will be sold , very soon!

3) following up on 2 > great things to happen for Pownce after nr 2 has been done!

4) facebook will grow even more, my space will lose more to facebook, but also to another new one ( could be nr 3)

5) Open Social, yeah! But not the Google one, Facebook is doing great in that matter and will evolve, the rest needs to follow and try to improve!

6) Google , yeah still great, but a new social search site is about to rise, the next gen. search should be coming up! The Google Role in this can still be amazing, depends on their strategy and focus!

7) You tube will lose more users if they fail to make the youtube 2.0 version, it has to evolve now in order to keep up with the upcoming competition!

8) Ads will decrease even more in click through ratio and bannering will be out of grace within time! New Ad possibilities will arise!

9) DESKTOP APPS will ARISE! Finally and thanks to all the players on this field, this will evolve major. Widgets have cleared the path, now the next step needs to be taken, interesting thing will be what will happen with Air and of course what the big ones like i.e. Google and yahoo will do in this matter!!

Enough, all of this is pure speculation. One thing we did learned over the years, Internet is pretty much unpredictible!
Users are the number one group to decide for hot or not's!!
