Fun read: David Karp’s 2008 Tech Predictions - shey.net reblog

About

shey.net has been around since 1998, making it one of the longest-running blogs on the web.*

I'm Tim. I design and produce things. Most recently, I co-founded Next New Networks, one of the leading companies making entertainment programming for the web.

Some of the popular web series and networks I've had a hand in producing, creating, or growing include ThreadBanger, Indy Mogul, Barely Political (and the Obama Girl videos), Channel Frederator, Fast Lane Daily, Auto-Tune the News, The Key of Awesome, $99 Music Videos, Epic Fu, TPMtv, Afterworld, and Rocketboom. Before that, I did lots of work with HBO, ABC, FOX, Discovery Channel, NBC, FOX Latin America, and companies like AT&T, Motorola, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Newsweek/The Washington Post at my D.C.-based design company, Proteus.

Got a question? Ask me anything.

Fun read: David Karp’s 2008 Tech Predictions

david’s predictions:

My third Xbox360 will red-ring again.
Google will launch the Web Service competitors GStorage, GCompute, and GAmazonFlexiblePaymentService.
Someone will explain what WiMax is, which I’ll try to obtain only to realize it’s unaffordable.
I will replace my iPhone with a new 3G model, available sometime during the summer. My old one will either go to the girl I’m seeing at the time, my younger brother, or Lindsey.
Twitter will scale this time.
Digg will be acquired.
Jakob will found 7 new companies and appear in 93 Valleywag articles.
Bobby Andersen will be promoted to “Director” of something at Apple.
Hundreds of engineers will flee Google looking to do something meaningful.
Tumblr will continue turning down acquisition offers.
Bonus: Facebook launches their new ad platform, FaceFriends, that inserts ethnically ambiguous people into your photos holding products that Facebook thinks you’ll like.
