50+ lists of digital predictions for 2009
It started out with a quick gander of eMarketer's list of 2009 predictions which has been bouncing round Twitter for the last day or so, then a chuckle with The Onion's list of predictions and then the madness descended. I should have learnt from last year's round-up, but alas no.
Below is the result in somewhat arbtitrary categories, a monster list of prediction lists. I'd love to pour all these lists into a clever tag tool and see what the key themes that drop out the other end, from a quick perusal, Twitter, Facebook, Cloud Computing, sensible business/get real/downturn/belt-tightening/good for digital and wild M&A speculation emerge.
Clearly, there's loads of predictions missing, so do let me know (email / Twitter) or add a comment if there's any that should be added.

Thank you for including Blind Five Year Old
Thank you for including Blind Five Year Old in your list of 2009 Predictions. You've done a great job collecting them all. Now we just have to wait a year to see if anyone had any of it right.
All the best.

Quite right, too.
