Time to review my 2006 Web 2.0 predictions.
- Somebody bought YouTube for $millions. Check! That might be obvious now, but 12 months ago, few people had heard of YouTube.
- The RSS Board released a minor upgrade (or two) to RSS 2.0.
- Yahoo! and Microsoft both have RSS intergrated email clients.
- The number of blogs in the U.S. exceeds its popolation.
- Web layoffs have begun.
- Ad-based startups continue to grow.
- APIs have gone thru the roof in 2006.
- Online ad servers thru the roof.
- Dave got pissed at Rogers Cadenhead and Mike "I'm allowed to have conflicts of interest but you aren't" Arrington.
- Oops! No RSS appliances yet.
Nine out of 10, not bad.
