Google’s 4 Predictions for the Web

From Jonathan Rosenberg’s Crystal Ball in Google:

1. All the world’s information will be accessible from the palm of every person

2. Everyone can publish, and everyone will

3. When data is abundant, intelligence will win

4. The vast majority of computing will occur in the cloud

Points 1 and 4 are no brainers about the inevitable advent of the mobile internet era (finally?) and cloud computing.  What interests me the most is points 2 & 4.  We are already seeing signs of more businesses in Singapore adopting a “offer value first, get rewarded later” mentality online although there are many who are practicing the same methods with less than noble purposes.  Like Jon, we believe that as long as you are consistent and offer content that is of true value then don’t worry about the clutter; your visitors and customers will be able to tell the difference.
