The first annual TeamCamp Christmas was a smashing success last night. We had a great discussion about what will be big in 2010. Here are our predictions:
Eric – Google Web Toolkit will take off making it easier to develop web apps.
Mike – 1. Oracle will have a challenging time trying absorb the Sun (and mysql) 2. Mashups.
Bryan – 1. HTML5 – Flash and Silverlight applications will start moving to HTML5. 2. ChromeOS
Fred – Real time video will start to appear on wireless devices. Other countries already have it, why not Canada?
Ian -1. The economy will “double dip”. 2. Twitter will figure out how to monetize its service – or suffer a steady decline in valuation.
Jean-Claude – Content on video sharing sites will get better because more users will have access to tools used by the professionals.
Cory – 1. There will be more angel and VC money and as a result more startups will stay in Ottawa rather then relocate to Silicon Valley. 2. The web will leverage people-power to to greatly improve recommendation engines. 3. Google’s biggest threat will be the US Justice Dept.
Len – Social networks will dramatically change the way people search for and find work.
Chris – Hyperlocal web ecosystems will take off.
Ok, now everyone is on record. Let’s check back to see who was right next Christmas!
