2010 predictions

Happy new year and a start to a new decade. Here is a list of 2010 tech/internet prediction blog post from around the web and prophecies to look out for.

Venturebeat weighs in declaring the hottest phone feature of 2010 will be tiny projectors. Tech IPOs will boom and the venture environment will heat up, but many web startups will be left cold. And games like farmville are not going away, in fact they predict they are going to grow fast.

The readwriteweb team has a extensive list of predictions for 2010 just like they did in 2009. Notably: google will launch an inexpensive netbook powered by Chrome OS, iTunes announces a web service- thanks to the Lala acquisition, the browser really will be the new OS and skype becomes increasingly pervasive.

David Walsh makes bold predictions for 2010 notably your mother will join facebook and IE6 support will dropped from many sites.

Dabitch at adland.tv thinks micropayments will finally come of age and the full service ad agency will die a new breed of agencies will emerge.

Jim M. Goldstein has some pretty impressive predictions worth reading including flickr going through a redesign. Jim also hits a common theme with most others that real-Time Search becomes a game changer.

Lots of people are perdicting Facebook will go public, twitter figures out monetization, ATT&T ends iPhone Exclusivity and of course, the mobile market is set to explode. Also many people are expecting users to finally figure out google wave. One common prediction seems to suggest big movements in data collecting, specifically analytics in 2010. And lots of prophets claim the apple iTablet will be a bust although lots of people weren't too hot for the iphone either. We will have to wait and see. Darren Herman has an extensive list of 2010 prediction blog post if you like to find more.
