2007 Predictions

Last time I can say I was right in saying 2006 would be the year of video.  I think I scored well (not as well as YouTube, but you get the idea).

My 2007 Predictions, keeping it simple:

1. 2007 will be the year of offline web applications. 
2. The consumer Internet will peak
3. Sense of ownership will be a primary social software design principle
4. DRM will become a mainstream issue
5. The traditional technology events business will either embrace the ad hoc, or collapse
6. Enterprise 2.0 will mainstream with acceptance, while a new category emerges to complement blogs, wikis and RSS
7. The IPO window cracks open just as we get the beginnings of SarBox reform

I'm not explaining these in-depth, to leave myself little qualifiers.
