Thanks for stopping by! Hey, why don't you do what all the cool kids are doing and subscribe to my RSS feed? You know you want to, so go ahead, be bad, be very very bad... :) Thanks.

Yes, I know I should of gotten my predictions in before the end of 2006, but unfortunately I did not. I then read this morning Wired’s list of predictions for 2007 so I thought I would add my own.
So without any further adeui, here are Cord Silverstein’s Top 10 Predictions for 2007.

10. We are going to be warm. No matter where you are, 2007 will continue the 2006 trend of having incredibly high temperatures in the winters and very dangerous and unpredictable weather during the rest of the seasons. I also predict that I will personally punch in the mouth the next person I meet who says global warming is a myth.

9. The hottest applications and websites for 2007 will solve one huge problem we have - Convenience. People are going to do more in 2007 online than they ever have before, but they still have a finite amount of time to do it. What applications and what web sites will allow us to do more, faster and easier will be the big “Can’t Live Without” winners of 2007.

8. MySpace crashes in on itself. People start to realize that they can go elsewhere and not have their web pages crash every two seconds and still get what they are looking for. MySpace you had two years and a half of a billion dollars to get your house in order, you did not get it done. Now go in the corner with your buddy Friendster.

7. Sony has a very, very, very bad 2007. After suffering through some major PR nightmares in 2006, customers lose trust in Sony and Playstation 3 is a bust, Blu-ray tanks and Sony still does not learn from it’s past colossal mistakes.

6. Social search reaches for the next level. It is time for people’s recommendations to matter more than what Mr. Google’s algorithm says. Real people with real opinions and thoughts will start to have a much larger impact in the world of search.

5. No Philadelphia sports franchise will even go to a championship, let alone win one. Sorry, as a Philly boy born and raised, I am beginning to believe there is something in the water or cheese steaks, not sure which one.

4. For the first time in a long time, the moderates from both political parties will come out in force to hold each candidate and political group accountable for what they say, what they do and how they do it heading up to the 2008 election. The time has come and gone for the far right and far left.

3. Michael Dell will either come back to Dell Computer Corporation and take back the day to day running of the company or he will retire from the company all together.

2. The Net Neutrality Act gets more complicated and less people understand what it means to them.

1. 2007 will be the year that anyone who wants a voice is given the opportunity to let their voices be heard.
