- inactive, on 06/07/2008, -7/+20So many ***** idiots signing up for the same rehashed ***** Web 2.0, advertising-infested ***** holes so they can spam "LOL" on the same overly raped Ajax-XML-Bastardized HTML all so some 22 year old douchebag can make $100000000 from a completely worthless product which has ZERO originality whatsoever and only furthers the dumbing down of teenagers and youth, sluttifying of young, pre-pubescent women and degradation of society.

- deadlift, on 06/07/2008, -0/+9What makes iSuppli the go to company when you want a forecast on the future? Do they have some magical crystal ball? Or are they hoping someone reads this article and tries to attempt innovation in the mobile sphere?
- Thursdae, on 06/07/2008, -0/+8Wireless social network? Isn't that REAL LIFE?
- mediaspree, on 06/07/2008, -1/+92. ?????
3. profit! - OHiggins, on 06/07/2008, -0/+7What they don't mention is that it's in internet dollars.
- crapmatic, on 06/07/2008, -0/+6$2.5 trillion? In other words, $500 for every person on the planet, where the average income worldwide is $7500/person and a huge majority of those people are just trying to put food on the table? I'm smelling some Grade-A marketing ***** here.

- Owwmykneecap, on 06/07/2008, -1/+4This just in:
Company you have never heard of, make Outlandish Futuristic Claim which they will never have to Back Up. - Brian48216, on 06/07/2008, -0/+3I'm calling ***** on this.
- inactive, on 06/07/2008, -0/+3Did you mean to say aggregator, or is this a reference I'm missing?

- nick111, on 06/07/2008, -0/+2Well yea - I don't know about you, but right now my life is dominated by technologies that weren't even invented 5 years ago. If you look at old sci-fi movies, something that's really striking is the predictions they make... they don't get *anything* right. Think about star-trek. What is one single thing they predicted correctly? There's a (great) UK series called UFO made in 1970 but set in 1980. Not a single thing in it actually happened. Not in 1980, not now.
So these people reckoning they can predict the future and put a dollar value on it? *****. The future never was predictable, and it's even less so now. - Riggs, on 06/07/2008, -0/+2I think its even more, somewhere around 90 %.
- Archer007, on 06/07/2008, -0/+2They have an iBall, of course. It's a Web 2.0 crystal ball.
- TheMachine1, on 06/07/2008, -0/+2Ounce again I'm a day late and dollar short in the market place.
- Rebel9, on 06/07/2008, -0/+2I assume it's referring to USD... calculate inflation and we should hit that next week
- ravan, on 06/07/2008, -0/+2There is a lot of decent wireless things out there for free, like on jygy.com where you can create free texting apps. We use it for a bunch of stuff and its free, so while we wait for the trillions, might as well enjoy the free stuff.
- bobdobolena, on 06/07/2008, -0/+2wireless pr0n ftw.
*takes out fleshlight*
Giggity. - TheMachine1, on 06/07/2008, -0/+2My anti-social networking concept IPO is in the works if any you peeps have any extra cash handy.
- bradysdaman, on 06/06/2008, -4/+5Is it just me or does that number seem sort of low? Maybe subtract the products and components and this estimate seems accurate. 12 years is a long time.
- Owwmykneecap, on 06/07/2008, -1/+2so says billy on a social news alligator...eh?
- Tony6785, on 06/07/2008, -0/+1I think about 2 Trillion of it is headed to adultfriendfinder.com
- sonicEd, on 06/07/2008, -0/+1"New intuitive applications enabled by innovative technologies introduced in the timeframe from 2009 to 2015 will spur the adoption of social networking and lead to major revenue growth in this area," Better get innovating, 2009 is next year! BTW, what is current revenue?
- dreamlayers, on 06/07/2008, -0/+1There are businesses which provide products of some value, such as building stuff, providing resources, or even providing "intellectual property". There I can say, yeah, they generate wealth. But how does wireless social networking generate wealth? It might even have a negative overall effect on productivity.
- garionw, on 06/07/2008, -0/+150% of all statistics are made up on th spot
- ctworden, on 06/07/2008, -0/+1Pretty lame article...didn't learn a thing.
Has Facebook managed to monitze their online social networking with the iPhone? no... - remo2012, on 06/07/2008, -0/+1The Truth is out
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNdUV1vysAc - TheMachine1, on 06/07/2008, -0/+1No there is solid data putting the number near 80%
- LightSpeed4, on 06/07/2008, -0/+1Bubble 2.0, here we come.
we were getting these same "trillion dollar" forecasts from sites not making a red cent in 1999. - ricoboy24, on 06/07/2008, -0/+1thats hypothetically speaking, say we don't survive 2012!?
- MtheoryX, on 06/07/2008, -0/+1I'm not your guy, friend!
- gaapgod, on 06/07/2008, -0/+1Yes, because iSupply is a well-known authority.... riiiiight.
- joeanon, on 06/07/2008, -0/+1Social networking is nothing more than a sound byte.
The internet has always been a social network. Most networks are social networks.
It's just a catch phrase to try to generate business. IM, profiles and emails are social networking... places like myspace and facebook are just proprietary version of these.
If you have chat... then you socially networked no matter how you want to twist the word.
So.... when you sit back and think about it. Very little on the internet is not social networking.
Programs that allow people to communicate is social networking, and that's basically the idea behind the internet in general... a highly routable and easily shared communication medium. - joshlewis, on 06/07/2008, -0/+1"I'm not your buddy, guy!"
- locojones, on 06/07/2008, -0/+1LOL! This article is almost as ridiculously laughable as the "iPhone will take over Japan" one. The US GDP right now is about 13 trillion dollars. To think that mobile social networking, whatever the hell that means, could be 25% of that is too funny for words. Social networking hasn't even figured out how to monetize its popularity now, what could they possibly do to generate cash once the fad has long passed?
- Lavarock, on 06/07/2008, -0/+1yesssssss.... make the investors believe!! MAAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHdoom
- tolgafiratoglu, on 06/07/2008, -0/+1In one of my previous companies I created PHP layer of a wireless social networking in 2006. We created a mobile social networking for an existing site. Well, things are not that easy. Users didn't download the client. Never used, I don't know why but the main reason is probably cost of using the client. Using wap is not cheap as you may guess.
If this is about only using mobile SNs, via internet (not wap), well, than there are already applications of Facebook to use Facebook via iPhone.
What I mean is: When my every detail on SN is embedded in Facebook, why should I sign for a new wireless network? - LightSpeed4, on 06/07/2008, -0/+13 trillion is too low? Are you ***** kidding me?
Bubble 2.0, here we come.
we were getting these same "trillion dollar" forecasts from sites not making a red cent in 1999. - Shadowgamers, on 06/07/2008, -0/+1FOOD, OR MY MYSPACE SUBSCRIPTION. OH GOD THE CHOICES.
- Ford_Prefect2nd, on 06/07/2008, -0/+1Yahoo news to learn you can't predict internet trends 12 years in advance, by 2019.
- superandy47, on 06/07/2008, -0/+1Yes, you're right, but by 2020 $2.5 trillion will be worth the same as four Euros.
- web77wise, on 06/07/2008, -0/+0Its web 2.0 and lot of opportunities
- Owwmykneecap, on 06/07/2008, -1/+1it was a joke. Lmao
- inactive, on 08/06/2008, -0/+0
I hate to say it, but by 2020, barring some miracle of technology, we'll be deep in the oil crash and no one will have little handheld gizmos anymore. Social networks will be your starving neighbors.
