MOJO.COM — Jan 3 — 2007 will see development in the following areas:
- VIDEO – Users will demand more quality in online video. Also, there’s way too many platforms and formats. Industry standards are needed.
- THE RETURN OF EMAIL – Email marketing is making a slow but sure return to the landscape in 2007.
- VERTICAL RISING – The rise of vertical communities will continue.
- ACQUISITIONS – CNET for sale? Perhaps. Yahoo! and AOL? We think Google will block that. eBay will probably make a major move, maybe even with InterActive Corp. After MySpace fails with advertisers, Rupert Murdoch will turn to eBay’s Meg Whitman and lure her to run FIM/MySpace. Facebook will not sell. That ship has sailed.
- OLD MEDIA vs NEW MEDIA – Old media will wake up and realize that Google is worth much more than they are combined and they try to collude to take on Google.
