It’s that time of the year again, time to look ahead to 2009 and predict the news. Here are:
- Top 10 Predictions for 2007.
- Top 10 Predictions for 2008.
Amongst those, what did materialize?
- MSFT did acquire aQuantive.
- CNET did sell, and as I called it later, did sell to CBS.
- Yahoo! almost got taken out, too bad YHOO was too stupid to reject MSFT’s offers.
- Facebook did bring in a female Chief… though not as CEO, but rather, as COO.
- Satellite radio did face more challenges: Sirius XM trades at $0.25/share with a billion dollar debt load coming up for renewal next year, in this credit crunch, what are the chances the company’s stockholders avoid getting trounced.
- TV did get hit harder than ever: CBS, News Corp., NBC continued to face massive challenges.
- Free ad supported music came, in the form of MySpace Music.
What are the Predictions for 2009? Coming soon.
