I also think that there is no room for Plurk in 2009 and it will vanish from everywhere.

While 5 is a nice idea I have doubts that the big players in the music industry would know what's good for them if it ran up and bit them. That's why economic crunches are good for the system - they help us shed unproductive hogs out of the market.

To be very true, Internet is furious so behavior of internet users as well. What I assume and predicted lastly, that was just rubbish but who cares? Anyways, Rather than predicting anything, I shall like to see all those predictions in reality.

I guess I'll just have to remember read all the comments first then input my 5 cents :)

Nice twitter profile man ;)

I'm with you on Pandora. I wish they'd go worldwide, and maybe they will try to do that at some point. If they could, I think the death of Last.FM would be that much more swift.

As for Louis passing Robert - shh... you can't predict that after he's already answered! ;)

Pandora killing last.fm? Maybe it's time for Pandora to go worldwide for a start?

Louis surpassing Robert: I do not think Robert cares that much :)

I'd disagree about Pandora killing Last.fm. The UK don't have access to Pandora so we're still very big users of Last.fm.

Blogging doesn't matter to me as much anymore. Participating, having conversations with smart people, and choosing the news from the best newsmakers, does. And no one will be able to touch me there in 2009. But, yes, Louis' guest posters may pass my blog's traffic in 2009, but will it matter? I'm off playing another game: one that is far more interesting than that! :-)

Love the predictions, but I think Facebook will likely by Twitter and integrate it into the status notifications. If you look at the mini-feed they have already started to make a fun at Friendfeed, so it would make sense .

From the traffic numbers I've looked at, Pandora is beating Last.FM in the US and has enough interest worldwide that people have tried using proxies to circumvent the blocks. If Pandora adds similar social features, I could see them taking a large chunk of Last.FM's US user base. Would Last.FM stay open to serve mostly an overseas audience? It's owned by CBS Interactive.

I can't see Last FM being put down by Pandora. Last FM is a worldwide service, while Pandora is local to the US.

I do hope Plurk dies, I've got beef with their karma system.

Louis deserves whatever success await him. Here's to a great 2009!
