TWENTY TEN is here! What this year awaits for the bloggers? Let’s try to forecast some of the things that might happen in this year. I go first:
- Mobile Internet will be the key drive for the year for the Internet related industries, that means more smartphones, more iphones, more mobile and web applications will be launched. That means TechCrunch will be mostly talking about iPhone and Android apps the whole year :)
- Android Market will grow many-folds and finally become the Apple’s rightly competitor.
- Facebook usage will slow down. That means it will be as if you are back to pre-Facebook years. You will lose touch with most of your old friends again.
- Twitter will be acquired (probably by Google).
- More blogs will be shut down, be it personal or make money online.
OK readers, now please leave your 5 predictions for the year 2010 in the comments section. Let’s make it a long list. It will be interesting to read for everyone!
Please share this list with your friends and ask them to put in theirs.
1)Visual studio 2010 and Net.Framework 4.0 will rock programming world and web.
2)Google vawe will be in,facebook will be out.
3)More blogs will be shut down(as you said)
4)2010 will be android year
5)html5 will become popular.
My five predictions are, I will be rich in Jan, richer in April and richest in June. :)
Thanks I will go for vacation in Aug and have party. After spending all that money in the party, I will become poor again in December. :)
Hi Ades, I like your predictions for the coming year. And I don’t think many would disagree with twitter being bought out be the big G, it will happen sooner or later right? :)
Here is my predictions:
1. Definitely more blogs will be shut down ( probably many of mine hehe ).
2. I think Google’s new phone Nexus One will make a big splash with consumers ( even with it’s huge unlocked version price tag ).
That’s all for now…
1) Google will remove the nasty penalty on my blog!
2) If 1 doesn’t happen – Bing.com becomes the new search engine of choice!
3) Twitter will become unusable due to adverts
4) Apple will release a Tablet
5) Google Wave will FAIL
What might be prediction on SEO on 2010? I am listening that SEO will be hard on 2010.
You forgot the Apple Tablet :)
@GDI, I think Apple Tablet is a done deal :)
Hi Ades, I like your predictions for the coming year. Here is what i’ve got:
1. Googles new nexus phone will kick butt!
2. Google will acquire Twitter.
3. Google will crack down on it’s advertisers and publishers.
4. Apple will produce an amazing laptop.
5. Apple will bring out a new iphone to compete with google.
Regards, David Pagotto
@Ades : Apple tablet is not a done deal, There are only rumors, Steve Jobs said nothing about it :)
I don’t know what will be in my top 5 but i agree Mobile Internet will be the key drive for the year for the Internet related industries and many of blogs will be shut down.
I don’t foresee facebook usage slowing down, but I do agree that the mobile internet industry will continue to grow.
Sorry for not having a top 5 :(
Till then,
Jean
The number 4 and 5 prediction is close to reality. I must say, that twitter will be acquired, Big Time and that, more sites will be shutting down due to monopoly.
Facebook usage will slow down. That means it will be as if you are back to pre-Facebook years. You will lose touch with most of your old friends again.

1)Apple will bring out a new iphone to compete with google
2)Google will acquire Twitter
3)More blogs will be shut down(as you said)
4)Google vawe will be in,facebook will be out.
5)Google will crack down on it’s advertisers and publishers
Why do you think more blogs will be shut down? If anything, I would think more and more blogs would open up. Most blogs never really get shut down either. Usually the blogger just stops updating.
Maybe it will be a new year for touch screen tablet, thanks to iSlate :D
Google is coming up with their new phone tomorrow! And I don’t think Twitter is looking for a buyout. I think they are going to monetize the site and build it, a la Facebook.
Hallo everybody, and all the best for you all for 2010. It is resolution and prediction time, and I resolve not to make any predictions this time round. The trend is definitely towards mobile, and I see smartphones becoming smarter and smarter and more affordable to the masses.
Mobile internet is in my opinion the most important here. Everything goes mobile and with internet accessible from almost every place in the country we will finally become men of new informative era. This could mean that information will be even more cheap and accessible from every corner.
Mobile internet definitely is a growing trend, but I think it is still a little ways from being super important. Cell phone coverage is still lacking and phone companies are still charging too much for data plans.
1 – making money online will be more popular
2 – more and more people are going to engage in blogging and internet marketing
3 – more social networking sites are going to emerge
4 – wordpress will be more flexible (lol)
5 – online job will be in demand!
i agree with ades and gdi that Apple Tablet is a done deal :)
2010 will be the year of the internet through both mobile media and small notebooks. Looking at all the mobi domains sold, and seeing many of the larger companies have started to develope mobile website applications. I guess within 5 years %15 of websites will be searched for through mobile
Everything goes mobile and with internet accessible from almost every place in the country we will finally become men of new informative era. This could mean that information will be even more cheap and accessible from every corner.
Ok My Prediction is a new type of pda that is a little bigger that will be a wireless laptop with an app that allows you to make a phone call if you need to.
I think its quite true about that we will become men of new informative era as mobile with internet does go well in the entire world.
That Apple tablet is now the subject of so many rumours and so much speculation that I feel it is right around the corner. Apparently it will be well priced too, which will expose a larger amount of people to their products.
I think the mobile market will increase a lot and all of the new tablets that are coming out will do good. I think Android’s market will also grow greatly and match Apple’s market
erk? 5? i said only one. I will change!
I think Mobile internet is most important here. Everything goes mobile and with internet accessible from almost every place in the country we will finally become men of new informative era.
Some what about the new era, lets make some innovative things which can make much brighter future for the coming years.
Welll.. nothing really will change this year.. maybe I’ll be able to sell more of my great how to develope iPhone apps guide.
Regards P.
I agree with you on the mobile internet exploding, and as for twitter being acquired Ev williams recently said that’s not going to happen, though they need to focus on retention of new / existing twitter users or they will never be in competition with facebook.
As for facebook dieing down a bit – that’s not going to happen anytime soon. Especially in light of recent news with facebook.com getting more traffic than google.com – Facebook is huge and will keep getting bigger.
