2009 Predictions
December 9th, 2008 (Tech)Here are a few things that I think will happen next year.
- Netbooks sales will continue to rise and may overtake notebook sales (at least for one month in ’09).
- 2007 and 2008 were years of huge online video growth. 2009 will be a year of trying to figure out how to better monetize this media platform and how to stand out among the crowd (hint: dense, quality content will win out).
- We are going to see more Hulu knockoffs that will fail for lack of good content
- This whole Twitter/microblogging thing still won’t be figured out.
- The US will officially be out of its economic “recession”, but not until the 4th quarter.
- Styles from the early 90′s will be back in vogue.
- 2009 will be the year of the thinker and the innovator. We will see more creativity as unemployment rises and people have more time on their hands to come up with the “next big thing”.
This is a very short list, so please add to it. What do you think will happen next year and what are you looking forward to doing differently yourself in 09?
