There's still time for some of these 2004 predictions to come
true, but not much. For those of us who like schadenfreude (pleasure
at another's

pet psychic, the
banal,
the

01/02/2004 11:02 PMBob's Predictions for
2004: Yet another set of year-end predictions. I like this one,
though.
As for SCO, they'll continue to make noise until the
middle of the year, at which point the legal case will implode and the
company will give up. By that time, the company executives, insiders,
and major investors will have all sold their positions at a handsome
profit. This was never more than a stock scam, pushing the price of
SCO shares up by more than 15 times.

12/30/2003 12:06 PMIt's the time of year for predictions, and Wired News has done a
little twist on the typical "predictions for 2004" story by having
prediction
s that a variety of interesting people would like to see
happen, along with what they actually expect to happen. The end
result is pretty much what you'd expect: people would like to see less
spam, better security, and better intellectual property laws - but
expect the opposite to happen.

David Pescovitz:

Transmedia
artist Genesis P-Orridge has reactivated his seminal industrial/trance
band Psychic TV to
tour
a> Europe and the United States beginning this month. Last winter, I
was fortunate enough to catch a rehearsal and they sounded
fabulous--tight, energized, and... happy. (Douglas Rushkoff was
playing keyboards with the group for several dates late last year but
will not be joining this particular "de-tour.")
Genesis is quite a sight these days as well. As part of the Breaking
Sex art exploration he's immersed in with his other half, Lady Jaye,
the two received identical breast implants on Valentine's Day 2003.
Gen's new mantra? "S/he is Her/e."

Battelle's 17 predictions
12/24/2004 12:55 PMHere'
s what John Battelle is saying is gonna happen next year.

Here we are again, the end of the year. Last year I did pretty
well with my prognostications, mainly because I chose carefully. This
time, I'm feeling a bit more reckless. A year from now, I am sure I'll
be scratching my head - what was I thinking? - but then
again, that's not such a bad place to be.
So in no particular order, here are some things that I believe have a
reasonable chance of occurring in 2005 with regard to the intersection
of media, technology, and search.
1. We will have a goat rodeo of sorts in the
blogging/micropublishing/RSS world as commercial interests push into
what many consider a "pure medium." I've seen this movie before, and
it ends OK. But it's important that the debate be full throated, and
so far it looks to be shaping up that way. I'm already seeing these
forces at work over at Boing Boing, and I am sure they
will continue. We'll all work on figuring out ways to stick to our
principles and get paid at the same time, however, I expect that
things might get more contentious before they get better, and
2005 may be a more fractious year in the blogosphere
as we evolve through this process.
2. Along those lines, things will not go as swimmingly as we'd like
with regard to "monetizat
ion." As the majors get into the space and start throwing around
their weight and lucre, some folks will make bad decisions, and others
will freeze and make no decisions at all. It will get harder to
innovate before it gets easier. We'll all be surprised by the lack of
what we consider "progress" in the RSS/Blogging world, and
expectations of major publishing revenues will not materialize as
quickly as perhaps we think they should. However, we'll in
fact be making huge strides in understanding the path
forward, it just won't seem like it. By the end of the year, the world
will begin to realize that "blogs" are in fact an extraordinarily
heterogeneous ecosystem comprised of scores, if not hundreds, of
different "types" of sites.
3. There will be two to five major new sites that emerge from
"nowhere" to become major cultural influencers along the lines of the
political bloggers of 2004. One of them will be sold
to a major publisher/aggregator for what seems like a large
sum of money, driving the abovementioned #2 and #3.
4. Meanwhile, the long
tail will become the talk of the "old line" media world.
To capture some of that value, we'll see a slew of deals and new
publishing projects from the established brands that seek to capture
the idea of community journalism, affiliate commerce sales, and
collaborative content creation.
5. Google will do something major with Blogger. I really
have no idea what, but it's overdue. Six Apart will grow quickly but face
a crisis in its implementation as its core users demand more features
that are "unbloglike" like customer databases and robust publishing
support tools. This (and other things) may drive Six Apart or one of
its competitors into the arms of Yahoo or AOL or even - gasp - Quark
or Adobe or Marcomedia.
6. Ask will
continue to consolidate traffic by buying smaller
search sites.
7. Yahoo and Google will both test systems that combine local
merchant inventory information with search, so that merchants
can use search as a direct sales channel. By the end of the year,
there will be no question that the search companies are in direct
competition with the ecommerce companies, but it won't matter -
there's room for them all. Paul Ford will continue to get droves of
readers to his related, and very prescient, three year old
post on how Google takes over the world.
8. Microsoft will lose search share before they gain
it back later in the year when the integration of MSN
search starts to scale with new versions of Office and IE .
Net net, however, MSFT will gain total in total search sessions from
last year, and its technology will get much, much better.
9. Firefox will
near 15% of total browser share. Firefox faithful
will wonder why it's not much much higher. But MSFT will release a
very good upgrade of IE, see #8.
10. A third party platform player with major economies of scale (ie
eBay or Amazon) will release a search related innovation that
blows everyone's mind, and has everyone buzzing about how it
redefines what's possible in search.
11. The China question will become a critical issue
to the search community. Defining the China question will in itself be
a major task of 2005. How do search companies go in without being
"evil"? Is the tradeoff worth it?
12. By the end of the year, there will be no question that
search is a media business, and that the major
players in search are major players in the content business.
13. Something major will finally happen at Tivo. We all hope that it's
a sale to Apple, but if it is a sale, it will more likely be to
Comcast or DirecTv.
14. All year, Apple will be rumored to launch a video
iPod, but it won't - it's still too
early. By the end of 2005, we will just be starting to see traction in
the video over IP market and its connection to search. Google
will introduce Video search at some point in 05, but it will
stay in Labs.
15. Mobile will finally be plugged into the
web in a way that makes sense for the average user and a
major mobile innovation - the kind that makes us all say - Jeez
that was obvious - will occur. At the core of this innovation
will be the concept of search. The outlines of such an innovation:
it'll be a way for mobile users to gather the unstructured data they
leverage every day while talking on the phone and make it useful to
their personal web (including email and RSS, in particular). And it
will be a business that looks and feels like a Web 2.0
business - leveraging iterative web development practices, open APIs,
and innovation in assembly - that makes the leap. (More on this when I
start posting again).
16. Perhaps most recklessly...I will finish
my
book. The reviews will be mixed, as my attempt to satisfy
both the exacting audience of Searchbloggers and the more general
audience of a major trade hardcover may fall flat. Many will say I
tried to do too much, others that I didn't do nearly enough (how's
that for airing my deepest fears in public?!). However, I'll be happy
with the effort, and the book will do OK, thanks mainly to the support
of this community. So, ahead of time, thanks for your support this
past year. I learned more from this process than I ever thought
possible, and I owe it all to you, who grace my site with your time
and input.
17. Lastly, I will be involved in starting a new
business in the field of media and technology. It will start
very slowly, and I'll screw up as much as I possibly can in the early
stages, before imposing it on the rest of the world. Hopefully, you'll
all be there to keep me honest as I try to figure out a few ideas I've
been simmering for the past year or so.
Unless there's a major story which breaks in the next week or so, I'm
signing off for the year, and look forward to resuming posting in
2005. Have a wonderful holiday, and a prosperous, healthy New Year.
Oh, and please add your thoughts on 2005 below - I know I missed a
lot....
