Thanks The Start Up Sage, a nice holistic overview of the naughties and what may be instore for us as business owners over the coming years.

I tend to agree with some of your comments, twitter is losing steam and I still am not sure whether it has found its place on the internet yet, I do believe it is an excellent and useful technology but not sure if its true purpose has been discovered yet - I currently find it as an excellent news and information source and is an interesting addition to any online marketers tool kit.

I think the next few years will see the title 'social media' die off and just become the normal way of the internet being used, more on mobile devices, more need for real time data and collaborative mobile applications.

I think over the next few years we are also going to see traditional offline businesses use the internet 'properly' as a way to market their business. I know this has been said for many years and businesses who have a website think that is all they need. But the need to drive traffic to websites and convert that traffic into a phone call for an offline business will really gain traction over the next decade, and the small businesses that get in first will be the ones that succeed.

We here at AussieTycoon are looking forward to a very optimistic 2010 and are glad to have an excellent community of dynamic, encouraging and motivated members, and we wish everyone the best for the years to come.
