2007 Predictions

January 1, 2007

As Matt says, “I love prediction posts because they get people’s imaginations going.”

  • Flickr will implement rel="nofollow". Specifically either a META tag on external links, whether on user profile or in photo annotation, description or comments. This to counter its use to increase search engine ranking. (I know people do it because I do it.) So will Upcoming.org. del.icio.us already does it.
  • No affordable plans for truly unlimited Internet on mobile phones for Canadians in 2007. (I define "affordable" as $100 or less per month.) I've given up hope.

Possibly more as they occur to me, this first day of 2007.

Heh, Upcoming's had nofollow on external links for the last few months for exactly that reason.
