good god, your prediction for mobile (13) has absolutely nothing to do with the iPhone. This, or I’m a lousy reader. And I’m not talking about the excerpt you presented, but the whole original text, that went a long way describing the said innovation. And at any rate, predicting the iPhone wouldn’t be much of a prediction. Of course, this wasn’t your intention then.

I think some of the ad network purchases will turn out to be a big waste…Quigo! Blue Lithium and Tacoda.

#5: "Yahoo will not regain its luster, but will take the steps necessary to do so by the end of the year."

It depends on the factors being measured http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/12/26/2007-in-numbers-low-traffic-is-the-only-problem-yahoo-doesnt-have/

Wow. Very good.

So tell us, what kind of stocks do you like for '08?

I think #9 is on its way. The younger tech savvy generation will continue to use ad blockers.

#12 is surprising, particularly with the jet purchase. But maybe they really are pretty good guys and there is not much else to say.

Actually, AOL’s biggest and most prominent acquisition was Quigo — not Tacoda. Big miss, John
