Some geeky ones. Some of these (ie. the last two) are rehashed from other people who know about these things better than me (I'll credit if anyone asks), but I genuinely agree with them so I'm going to include them

- Twitter will still be just as popular, maybe even with an actual source of income
- More everyday services/brands will create useful mobile apps, following on from the natwest, tesco and guardian iphone apps all being released in the last couple of months
- As a result of the above, users will rely on cloud/remotely hosted services for more everyday things rather than pen and paper or a file on your computer
- The Murdoch papers will try and start charging people to read news articles online; it won't work
- Streaming online radio will become a step closer to actually being good

The man made global warming carbon footprint lie will get so out of control people will not be allowed to exhale for months at a time.

It will be sunny for Glastonbury festival.

Facebook will attempt to start charging people, there'll be thousands of groups against it.

Facebook will start charging people and everyone will just pay it anyway.

Derren Brown will announce he's giving up magic to concentrate on debunking everything in the whole world ever.

Not entirely snowed in here, but this is our house this morning:

I love the way several inches of snow managed to balance on those tiny twigs and the very narrow fence.

Oh she has a mind, but whoever wired it up came to work drunk that day.

Predictions:

The BBC and Channel 4 will produce endless list shows about the greatest things of the last ten years whilst actually missing off anything good that really happened, replacing it with forgettable pop culture references.

Gordon Brown will cry after the election on live TV.

Cameron will be seen doing rediculous gimmicks such has a running race with school children, some gardening with old people and drinking a pint of lager (he clearly drinks bitter) with a bald landlord.

During the summer everyone will mock the school children for being dumber than ever as exam scores reach record highs.

Peter Mandleson will be killed and eaten by an escaped bear (or man in bear suit). The bear will be praised in the newspapers which no one will actually read anymore.




Lets see shall we
:wink:
