Web News and Views Roundup #4

January 3, 2010

in web news

Just went over the latest headlines in my RSS Reader, as I try to do once a week, and share some of the gems with you here. This time proved to be more difficult than others: way way too many “Happy New Year” lines, way too many compilations of “xx Best yy of 2009″ and “xx best yy of the decade”. Bleh! It’s just a date, folks, get over it.

Not that all of them sucked terribly. Some were interesting, some were funny, some even important. I’ve mentioned some of them in the last News and Reviews post.  From this week’s crop, here are a couple about 2009 -

Tweetup and Hashtag Make the List of Top 2009 Words

TenYears: The Biggest Product Flops of the Decade

And two more, these are even more interesting, as they try to predict future trends:

Facebook: 5 Predictions for 2010

Google’s 2009: A Glimpse of the Web’s Next Decade – a mix of 2009 summary and some predictions.

I have to say, there wasn’t much else going on this week, in terms of exciting web news. I mean, even John Mayer’s call for digital cleansing, which even Google’s Matt Cutts joined, was about only cutting off Twitter and social media. Blogs and websites weren’t supposed to be included. I guess maybe it’s just this kind of a week, where most people struggle between digesting huge amount of holiday turkey and dealing with New Year’s after-party effects?

Well, I guess I’ll just join in today with a belated Happy TwentyTen!

I love the Facebook predictions for 2010!

Though, I am not sure if I would completely agree with all of them…

Thanks for the round-up! :)
