    Thanks for sharing that. Definitely something to think over. I found it interesting, however, that one person said they thought social networking will be very important, and the last one thinks "the investment bubble on social is going to burst"...

    Sounds like typical speculation to me. People have been calling for bubbles to burst for ages now, and they do; thats why there called bubbles. But then they reform. Before facebook there was friendster, then hi5, then myspace, now facebook. No surprise there.

      LOL at this one from their 2009 list - 9. Facebook
      More and more people are regretting Facebook posts and the amount of time Facebook takes from their daily life. As a result Facebook's skyrocketing growth will flatten in 2010.

      Predicting the future is hard. Seems like everyone's always predicting the same thing. Nothing comes as soon as we expect, and nothing dies as quick as we think it will.
