User predictions and blog plans for 2008
Yesterday I posted part one of my technology and economic predictions for 2008, and at the end of the article I asked for reader predictions. Here are some of them:
Jack Rack predicted:
1. Google shares will rise to over $900.
2. Digg will be bought by Microsoft (and slowly be run into the ground.)
3. Myeeos.com will do 1 of 2 things. Become an overnight sensation or literally burst into flames.
My analysis:
1. I agree. Google will surpass $800 easily next year and close the year above $900.
2. I don’t see Microsoft having much of an interest in Digg, but it wouldn’t be unreasonable to predict that they will increase their holdings in Facebook though.
3. I wrote a month ago that myeeos has a long uphill battle ahead. The odds of it failing are greater than that of success. However, if myeeos fails it won’t be shut down but smolder. It will be very interesting to see how myeeos unfolds in 2008. One complaint I have though it how long it has taken for the site to be ‘officially’ launched.
Also in 2008 I plan to promote iamned.com more heavily mainly though the use of forums. I don’t have any plans to sell advertising or run ads. The main goals are to grow readership.
Stay tuned for 2008 predictions part 2
