I would love it if Open Data was to become big, especially when presented as well as http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/play/snake-oil-supplements/ With Tim Berners Lee calling for more Open Data too I’m sure it will get coverage, I just see too many vested interests wanting to monetize data and keep it closed though.

Helgebirk,

Thanks for your comment! I think you have a good point about Open Data, which obviously is an important trend.

In general I agree on your thinking around digital media trends, JohnEi, but from a personal note I would add Open Data as trend #9.
Social media has so far been about interaction in between people, but not much about the way we can combine different sorts of data and enrichen the quality of (for instance) journalism.
BTW: Check out Bente Kalsnes Can open data win wotes

In regards to the Mobile web explosion, I doubt we will see a massive main stream usage before 2011-12. Yes, mobile web will increase in 2010 due to the boost of smart phone/Wi-Fi , but as long as the carriers still not offer a transparent billing system for 3G, we won’t see the explosion this year, I think.

I see. But in that case content platforms are somewhat linked to technology. Hopefully we will be able to narrow it down to two platforms: Big screen and small screen (pads and phones).

Apple’s Itunes is one content platform, Amazon’s Kindle another one. Add Google’s Android.

What do you mean by content platforms?

Per Helge,

This blog article was written before the launch of the iPad. For sure iPad is a game changer which will influence strongly how we consume information. Whether it will be the new format for PCs I think it is to early to say. The big fight, I think, will not be about technology, but about which content platforms will win in the long term.
