"By 2035, digg.com is expected to add a 'pictures' section" - mland, on 10/10/2007, -0/+36The title should have read "10 Current Web Trends"
- monsterofNone, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20pictures from the future or it won't have happened.
- postingbh, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17Internet Police (RIAA, MPAA, NSA, etc.) should have been listed.
- AwwHellYeah, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16add one more to the list: stupid ass top 10 lists.
i know its already here but i see no sign of it going away. - arjung, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11seriously. is there anything on that list to which you responded, "whoa, i've never thought of that, how cool!"
no, there isn't. - surfing, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11Then in June of 2035 they add subsections under pictures for Apple, Design, Gadgets etc. However in August 2035 Grandpa Kevin figures out this was a stupid and removes the "Pictures" section, but add a check box so people can automatically add [Pic] to the title.
In 2037 they add "Hologram" and "Smells" section. The comments feature is never fixed. - dvirsky, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Are you sure this list is not from 2002 or something like that?
- nailPuppy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4WoW, XBox Live, and Second Life are going to be the "next" big things?
Oh wow, apparently we'll have online video in the future?
Soon we might even have international people, or be able to personalize websites!
Hrmm... - sirdaz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3"lol" is the most unproductive, non-contributing comment on digg.
- MOJIRA, on 05/17/2008, -1/+42035? Innacurate, by 2035 Skynet will have taken over digg.
- pixelguru, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3...or you could just bank on the opposite of whatever Microsoft says is the future of the net.
- rootstyle, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Pretty much, these are all CURRENT trends... and is WoW a 'web' trend? No.
Buried as another crappy msaleem submission, with another crappy misleading title and poor description. - AlexanderBlue, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3With all of the pornography, XXX webcams, and related stuff on the internet, I'm quite surprised they didn't mention virtual sex, aka teledildonics - http://www.wired.com/culture/lifestyle/commentary/sexdrive/2004/09/65064 Note: I was humored to note that the digg spell checker wanted to correct 'teledildonics' with 'tiddlywinks'.
- Segment, on 10/10/2007, -3/+6Bring back the hamster dance!
- Skardhamar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Hold your horses professor!
- djmadness, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Is there a digg to a top 10 top 10 lists?
- Enderz, on 10/10/2007, -4/+5Future trend: sex, sex, and more sex.
- MOJIRA, on 05/17/2008, -0/+1No. The next trend is skipping numbers or randomly assigning adjectives to "Web". For instance: Web 4.5 or Web Candle + Monkey.
Stole that joke from Ask a Ninja. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1China has a huge market for the Internet. At the same time a interesting trend is that more years people have access the less and less they use the Internet. I know several people in China who were part of the first wave of Internet users who have actually gotten rid of the Internet for personal use, because they got bored with it. I wonder if that boredom trend is happening elsewhere.
- Newbornstranger, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I'm going to bookmark this page to laugh at in 5 years.
- maexus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Often times people downplay the importance of semantic markup when discuss the web, often times talking about web standards. Web standards are incredibly important but semantic is also extremely important. I think it goes a long way to help AI they are talking about on the backend.
- unitedstatians, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Digg needs a "Futuristic" category.
- idc5, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1yet to see a website sicker than tubgirl..
- twodayslate, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1They have the wrong gaiaonline logo.
- JMaelstrom, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Hmmm - aren't they one of the most successful tech companies of all-time? Oh wait a minute - that was just a typical off-the-cuff anti-Microsoft dig - I got it... Must be true then...
- spanner, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Is Amazon's "intelligent machine" called a "mechanical Turk" because turks are the simplist thinkers and easiest to create artificially?
- fortezza, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1And the Digg use of the term "Hot Chics" is clarified, as it means has 2 legs and weighs under 300lbs.
- intent, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I'm still waiting for VRML to become popular.
What? It didn't? But it had so much fanfare... - bonkers217, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1A lot of common sense in this article but still good to see and understand what the future might hold in the technology world. I'm interested to see which trend will have the largest impact in the future.
- fortezza, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1WebXP Professional, followed by Web Vista.
- fortezza, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I agree, Macromedia did its best to make it popular. I was inundated with the term while learning Flash. Now its up to Adobe to make it happen. Everyone household should have a RIA, and 640k of memory, too.
- rss2pdf, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1...hamster dance as a web service with REST API.
- dhughes, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1"...RIA (rich internet apps)"
Somehow I doubt that acronym will catch on. - stonr2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0lurk moar
- dandonia, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1lol
- 30r05, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0But what you think he do... AFTER?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Semantic Web? WTF do Jews have to do with it? Just great, like the Arabs aren't paranoid enough. What? Oh.
- kmattso, on 10/10/2007, -4/+3Nope. The next trend is Web 3.0 because it comes after Web 2.0.
- eXcivory, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0This is certainly a good article, but "International Web" needs to be bumped to one or two on the list....There is such an extremely large untapped market out there--web growth really hasn't come close to peaking yet worldwide, and with that will come even more new innovation.
- FaceBookEconomy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0How is it that Facebook only got such a "minor" mentioning?! (Mark Zuckerberg is my God, btw).
- AROZ, on 10/10/2007, -5/+3A browser known as black widow will monitor your activities and eventually load pages without you typing anything in. The CIA is currently testing it out as a spy tool, but let's keep that on the down low.
- djtrypt, on 10/10/2007, -13/+2lol
