My Dotcom Predictions for 2006 ; )

I got a little help predicting the future from this fella. Hilarious. Give it a try and email me your output.

Last year I made several predictions that now seem ridiculously hasty. But a few ideas were pretty close. I've got a feeling that 2006 will be a big year, and here are some of the reasons why:
A Palo Alto startup is going to open our eyes to some new ways that telephony can influence culture. New York Times will pick up on this and run several cover stories on the founders.
Larry Page will be in the spotlight for his decision to support RSS. This will upset John Battelle, and the blogosphere will react Quickly. The noise will quiet before the end of the year and it will all be forgotten soon after the shock.
amazon.com will see their stock skyrocket after their vertical consumer goods business starts taking off. We've seen it coming for a while now, but 2006 will be the year it really kicks into gear.
Either google or yahoo will seek to expand their search-based advertising platform business by acquiring writely. metaweb will be overlooked in the process, and they will see a management shakeout later in the year.
One of the big leaders in the publishing industry will wake up to the opportunity in the Internet and the Web 2.0 trends. After months of speculation, they will make a key merger that will shake up the landscape for years to come.
