2006 - Here we come.
I have so much confidence that 2006 will be one of the best years for the web ever. There are so many great things happening.
I have no predictions, but I will state where I am looking for innovation.
We are on the verge of some great collaborative but distributed services built upon the ability to share information efficiently and in a more meaningful way than links and comments.
The combination of a scenario with structured blogging , shared feeds ala Jarvis’ take on SSE, read/write web ala Winer’s OPML editor and citizen journalism ala Dan Gillmor seems to be putting the entire news media business on a precipice.
Fall or Fly. Everyone needs to make their own choice.
I know mine, so I’ll be announcing some new experiments shortly on the subject of SharedNews , a term I coined describing wiki-like particpation in news feeds.

I whole heartedly agreed with the trends you point out. Along the same lines, I think a BIG breakthrough will come when an RSS site is able to make recommendations at the post level that are appropriate for each individual based on their subscription and use patterns.
Anything that helps sort through the torrent of information that is published each day is a good thing, but the service that does it best and can scale will be a big winner.
That’s a great idea Ed. So, like one tags a post “RSS” or something, in the future you might be able to say “This is for my Geek readers who also are part of my Work network and subscribe to my podcast.” I think that’s what you were getting at anyway.
Exactly. I don’t know how far away something like this is. One nice thing about feeds is there tends to be a ton of data attached to them that may help make something like this work.
