John Battelle’s Searchblog looks back at predictions made for the search industry in 2004 and reflects on those that were right on and a few that weren’t.
Right on: “Blog ecologies of like-minded folks will garner increasing cultural and social power.”
Not so right on: ” …at about the same time Yahoo, AOL, MSN, and Google will build or buy second-generation blog/RSS aggregation sites.”
Most were pretty good.
