Brad Williamson Is On the Internet

My favorites:

• Some serious user interface innovations will blow our minds.
• A new social network will rise to join the big ones. (Lifeca.st anyone? ;-)
• iTunes announces a web service, thanks to the Lala acquisition.
• Spotify finally gets the green light in U.S. and people go nuts for it.
• 2010 will signal the death of the login.
• The browser really will be the new OS.
• Skype becomes increasingly pervasive, as the younger generations force their parents to get online and consumers find new and interesting ways to cut costs and save money.
• Consumers bypass carriers and create open wifi networks for all
• The online user experience has a renaissance, as web browsers and hardware become more sophisticated and designers / developers take advantage of that.
• Backlash against the App Store causes more and more developers to defect to Android and competing platforms.
• Social analytics features explode onto the scene in 2010.

“In an industry where honesty is such a lonely word, the creator of a hit TV show says what he thinks on line. We talk to Kurt Sutter of Sons of Anarchy about his blog, Sutterink. Plus an Academy Award-winning writer on how show business is like every other business we know.”

Now THIS is the degree of transparency I like to see outta public figures!
