It's so easy just to sit back and comment on others' predictions. Here are my comments about predictions for 2008 made by Mark Hopkins of Mashable.
I like the prediction that Google is more likely to succeed than Facebook:
My money’s on Google accomplishing their goal of being a legitimate cloudware operating system
Next, I appreciate the comments about APML:
Attentioning is a meme that’s gaining steam this year. Next year, it’s going to be the new “social graph.” Attentioning is not only a neat new buzzword and a way for the user to take back control of their privacy, but a way for behavioral targeting to really take hold. If you haven’t read up on it yet, this is something you truly need to pay attention to. Open has been the clear winner in the buzzword contest for at least the last half of 2007. APML and the attentioning movement will gain steam next year, as they don’t just use Open as a buzzword, but as a philosophy.
APML and it's cousins like automated recommendations are game changers because they are all about making the online experience more relevant. What can be more meaningful than that!
