Se avete dei problemi a elucubrare le vostre previsioni per il 2006, potete ricorrere al Dotcom Predictions Generator di Matt McAlister.

Questo è il risultato del mio lavoro, ovviamente in inglese (evito la traduzione, tanto sono frasi abbastanza strampalate facili da comprendere):

Last year I made several predictions that now seem ridiculously pessimist. But a few ideas were pretty close. I’ve got a feeling that 2006 will be a big year, and here are some of the reasons why:

1. A Palo Alto startup is going to open our eyes to some new ways that VoIP can influence culture. Punto Informatico will pick up on this and run several cover stories on the founders.
2. Eric Schmidt will be in the spotlight for his decision to support open source. This will upset Steve Ballmer, and the blogosphere will react blaming Microsoft. The noise will quiet before the end of the year and it will all be forgotten soon after the shock.
3. Google will see their stock skyrocket after their virtual desktop business starts taking off. We’ve seen it coming for a while now, but 2006 will be the year it really kicks into gear.
4. Either Ebay or Yahoo will seek to expand their IP telephony business by acquiring Zultys Technologies. Microsoft will be overlooked in the process, and they will see a management shakeout later in the year.
5. One of the big leaders in the proprietary software industry will wake up to the threat of the Internet and the Web 2.0 trends. After months of speculation, they will make a key merger that will shake up the landscape for years to come.

P.S. - Per una volta, sono arrivato in anticipo rispetto a Massimo Mantellini. La cosa mi riempie di orgoglio (quando hai un blog, basta poco per essere contenti…).
