Predictions for 2006

  1. The blogosphere continues to degenerate into uselessness, with “me too” entries overtaking substance by a margin of 50:1.
  2. Microsoft infuriates the syndication enthusiasts by calling it “OurSS” for Windows Vista and IE7.
  3. Yahoo! acquires Danni.com, claiming “Web 2.0 is going to be even bigger now.”
  4. Dave Winer officially adopts Robert Scoble.
  5. HDTV programming doubles - from two boring shows to four.
  6. Public access stations across the country concede that video podcast content is just as boring, pointless.
  7. Steve Gillmor begins to work on a new spec for flame wars, dubbed Contention.XML.
  8. O'Reilly overtakes the world of fashion by releasing a new series of clothing titled “Slacks.” Their first release, Google Slacks, is a runaway hit.
  9. Hidden rootcanal discovered inside all Sony toothbrushes.
  10. Everybody in the world finally farts at the same time.
  11. MTV brings Adam Curry back into the fold; Dawn and Drew quickly replace TRL.

Hilarious. I'm suprised Memorandum or Digg hasn't picked up on this yet, but maybe it's because they are too busy picking up on every “me too” list of predictions for 2006.

Hmm… Didn't realize this was a top ten satire (skimmed over the headline) and thought you were recapping. I thought MS has gone with OurSS. I almost choked on my diet coke.
… me too.

Too late…it's already happened.
