More top 10's - Jan 6

I am still getting top 10's out of my system : a few more noteables:

• A medley posted by Guy Kawasaki
• I also like Ari Paparo's predictions - well said.

Who else out there has a top 10 list? Feel free to share.

As for 2008 predictions, I found the following trend predictions from the Center of Media Research accurate and insightful into what 2008 should shape up to be in the dear to my heart "Geek Culture":

The research identified four key driving trends;

• Immersive Living is the rise of lifestyles which blur the reality of being on and offline. Entertainment will no longer be segmented; people can access and create it wherever they are.

I couldn't agree more. This is something that I see everyday with my tech culture colleagues.

• Geek Culture marks a shift as consumers become hungry for more sophisticated entertainment... the boundaries between being commercial and creative will blur.
• A social force in Asia called G Tech, the feminization of technology currently underway, suggests that entertainment will be more collaborative, democratic, emotional and customized.

Now that I know there's a name for the "feminization of technology" - I will be sure to use it. G Tech doesn't exactly translate though....how about just 'socialization of technology' or something along those lines?

• Localism, locally-minded sprit emerging in entertainment consumption, will become a key theme whereby Consumers will take pride in seeking out the local and home-grown.

It sounds like we're all trying to get a little more community oriented in the ever expanding cybersphere. Seeing my local community of twitter friends, facebook friends and neighbors in San Francisco I have to say it feels a little more local and less like the billions of web pages and visits that exist in a day.
