I agree
on Microsoft's Steve Ballmer is trying hard to make two mistakes (February 14, 2008)
-
Would like to add also my ("predictions", maybe better a humble "personal comments") for 2008. 1. Semantic Web / Search 2.0 / Collaborative Search. Yes, this tool will definitively grow, the path is clear. But I don't know whether the 2008 will be the "mainstream" year yet. Maybe, maybe not. 50%/50%. I still see some delays in getting the "wow effect" operating model. For sure we at Xoost will continue to work hard on this direction and improve our platform continuously, also thanks to the feedback of our users. 2. Twitter. A sure hit also in 2008. When I first used it (abt 6 months ago) I said: what's this weird mix between chat/myaspacecomments, why r people using it, where's the value? But then, a tried it again, started to play with it and now..I'm completely addicted..!! I think the key is the "Kiss" factor for them: Keep It Simple.. great! 3. Facebook. 2007 was no doubt the FB year. I agree they may lose some ground in 2008, I hear many comments of people complaining abt the pollution on the site/useless apps, wasting time on FB...But they will not go out of business in 2008. Absolutely not. Those guys are proven smart. They will continue to take the lead in terms of innovative ideas in the online social networks business. If they will buy Twitter they make a great shot. 4. Google. They amaze me. Never saw such a fast & furious (and winning) "brand extension" strategy before in business. I think in 2008 they will focus on taking the lead in the Mobile market. Fight with Nokia/MS/Apple/and more..is hard, but still a solid 66% probability they will make it. Google guys love challenges, the like to explore always new frontiers, not being afraid of anything: that's their great value. 5. Yahoo!. A few words on my beloved Yahoo! I started on the web with Yahoo, I loved (and still love this company) but my question is: where do you wanna go? do you still have a mission? Why don't you consolidate all your web 2.0 units into a powerful one? Will this decline continue also in 2008? really hope not. Please, invent something. Buy Twitter. 6. Amazon. Bezos did a fantastic job in 2007, sure. He is leveraging well the core assets of Amazon and driving the company more and more on the tech side of the equation. A repeat winner. 7. Microsoft. still there, big. !!! Wishing you a very Happy New year 2008, full of INNOVATION, wherever it will come from !!!
