Predictions for 2007

It’s that time of the year – so without further ado, here are my predictions for 2007:

• the end of MySpace

• users will recongnize that MySpace sucks and will either move over to facebook (not much better, but better), or find something else to waste their time on

• why? cause nobody really cares and mobile phones will still not have a good enough interface to make this interesting

• this might be wishful thinking, but given that Hewlett-Packard now advertises with PPP, there is hope that a major scandal will reupt and take this decrepit thing down

• really, who cares about widgets enough and how do you sell advertising in a widget?

• that’s an easy one so I can be right on at least one of these

• especially Office 2007 is going to blow people away once they see it in action

• hell, the mainstream never learned how to set the clock on that VCR they replaced with the DVD player last year
• online-office suites will not be a major factor next year

• might be wishful thinking as well, but a man can hope (even if I never use IM anyway, so I don’t really care)

• how many iPods can Apple sell? from this point on, it is going to be replacements
• yes, there will be a true video iPod – but most people won’t care, cause they don’t watch video on the thing anyway
