Decided to give predictions a break for a couple of years.

Deboraweb,
Thank you! My point wasn't to ignore experience but to remind people that experience is not a substitute for data, experimentation, and testing. Experience should be an asset, but when the world changes, experience may point you in the wrong direction, so being assiduous about gathering new data -- new experience -- is an important tool for avoiding mental and experiential traps. Will have to remember to pull that out more clearly in the future.

Thanks, Tom! Toned down blur for Chrome.

Music labels made all of these arguments, so I'd be careful of assuming books will be different. Also, more and more of the ebook retailers allow you to download samples which can be a very good browsing experience.

Re: Are you Listening, Amazon?

Excellent point. However, as the largest seller of books, Amazon has more ability to bend the ear of publishers than almost anyone.

Alas, the data would suggest that you are an exception rather than the rule.

Advisory board or on their board of directors.

Re: Big Brother versus Little Brother

Big Brother doesn't need to own the pipes if regulation (eg ACTA) means big content can turn your access to the pipes off. However, I agree that the preposterous nature of 3-strikes driven penalties certainly tilts the playfield towards DIY and artists working around/outside conventional models.

I hope so. Suspect many people said the same thing about Atlas.

The whole lean startup shtick is a collection of good ideas that has been around a while. I do think that the Rails/Django/[fill in rapid web prototyping framework of your choice] is pretty different as a result of decreased development costs and availability of cloud services, but not sure that 2009 is the tip year for that. Still, good points, Daniel.

Tim, you an Ian can agree to disagree with me about Foursquare :-) I don't use it either, but if their numbers are true, 100k+ users is really surprising and interesting. Re concurrency, I suspect that bots have impacted that number for a long time, so think the repeating human visitors is probably a better metric, but your point is taken.

Re: what's in a name?

That certainly is one of the problems Philip and Ryan will have to overcome. It was certainly designed to avoid that problem, but some of the tools that made it easier to duplicate votes may have moved in that direction.

Ian, think the FB connect stuff is fixed. Technology rocks.

Hey, Dave! Long-time no chat. Generally agree with your comments, btw. Also, interesting to compare Bing and Google rankings as a way to tease out Blogger bias.

More experimentation with Disqus. Right now I'm logged into Disqus, so not sure if this will show up on Facebook Connect or not.
