The early adopters will argue (endlessly) about which system is better. That will be enough to frighten off the mainstream.<br><br> I figure I'd go bold and if I only got 3 right I'd be happy. I think my list turns out to be half prediction and half wish list. Yeah I see Identity systems as a train wreck. The early adopters will argue (endlessly) about which system is better.

Though you really are swinging for the fences with some of your predictions, aincha? As you can see with my picks, I'm more of an incrementalist, myself.

I'm trying to figure out what the Next Big Thing might thing -- a clue from Twitter is that it's useful to both primarily-mobile users, and primarily-desktop users. Lisa — hey, thanks.

I definitely agree that folks will be on social media overload which will cause the entire area to shrink. Not to mention a bunch of VC folks getting antsy for profit in a weak economy.

OpenID is confusing to most and with three different flavors to pick from … well good luck getting people to get it. Heck, most still don't get RSS.

As for Twitter, it's on my 'Someone Dies' list along with Plurk, Digg and Seesmic. All interesting companies but all without an real profit model. I think FriendFeed eclipses Twitter this year as the shiny new thing.

All my predictions are on Blind Five Year Old:
http://www.blindfiveyearold.com/2009-internet-a...

The cliff notes version for those with carpel tunnel follows:

Facebook Becomes A Portal

Identity Systems Fail

Video Advertising Succeeds

Microformats Go Mainstream

Banner CTR Becomes Obsolete

RSS Adoption Spikes

Kindle 2.0 Flops

Google Search Share Stalls

FriendFeed Surpasses Twitter

Someone ‘Dies’ (no, not Steve Jobs)

Thanks for the food for thought. Will be interesting to see if next big thing comes along to usurp Twitter. I thought FB had changed my life a few months ago -- pre-Twitter. Now I think twitter = god. <br>We shall see! You may think they're “horrible”, but at least they are interesting! Thanks for the food for thought.
