It is very difficult for all of us to believe that just a decade an ago they were no iphone, face book, YouTube or even the Wikipedia. It is one of the biggest shocks that how these entities have shaped the culture of the internet.
Based on the chats and reports of venture capitalist here is something’s that might come up in 2010.
The third wave of mobile application: the mobile stores of today just have a set of games and other novelty programs and they just keep advertising the limits of what the cell phone can do. But the experts new mobile phones will soon make the splashiest entry in the market which will come with the external attachments like an audio jack which can turn it into a credit card machine.
The location: start ups like the foursquare, hot potato, urban spoon have already generated a lot of buzz for the forays into the mobile location arena, but this is just the beginning to the users of twitter in light of the new geo location features. And in the future we will be seeing many more new useful location based applications.
Continued decline of the wire line: according to the national center for health statistics most of the people in the US are relied on the mobile phones and have disconnected the wire line. Now it is expected that they will be no or only very few who use the wire line connection as most of the people are going in for the internet based telephony and the wireless carriers which is also cheaper.
Web TV: the other thing that will take place in 2010 is that the television will be watched online. They will be set ups like clicker and set jam which will make it easier to watch television. Apple may come up with the monthly service which will deliver TV programs via software.
All your memories belong to the web: with the help of the ever note and other popular notemaking service via web and mobile phones most of the people will be vying to supplement our grey matters with silicon.

Microsoft Thursday began a belated and limited beta of its newfangled browser-based Office Web Apps, the widgetry that’s supposed to joust in the cloud with Google Apps and the other free or low-cost online Office wannabes.
It’s their first public outing.
The invitation-only technical preview for consumers, available through Windows Live, only includes Word, Excel and PowerPoint, not OneNote, and they aren’t feature-complete yet – nor will they ever be as feature-rich as the real McCoy.
Word is currently only good for viewing and sharing documents, not creating or editing them. Excel documents can be viewed, created and edited and PowerPoint presentations viewed and edited. Microsoft said nothing about printing.
But Office documents can apparently be embedded in blogs, social networking sites and other web sites.

It is interesting to note that even after 3 years, Web2.0 still holds remarkable market traction and companies have gained significant business benefits, including more innovative products and services, more effective marketing, better access to knowledge, lower cost of doing business, and higher revenues.
A recent McKinsey Global Survey has further researched on how companies stand to benefit from Web 2.0 and this has revealed some notable facts. According to the report successful companies not only tightly integrate Web 2.0 technologies with the work flows of their employees but also create a “networked company,” linking themselves with customers and suppliers through the use of Web 2.0 tools.
Despite the market slowdown and recession, respondents have positively indicated that they will continue to invest in Web 2.0 technologies. A respondent size of over 1,500+ executives from the industry participated in this survey spanning from a variety of domains, industries and functional areas. They were asked about the value they have realized from their Web 2.0 deployments in three main areas: within their organizations; externally, in their relations with customers; and in their dealings with suppliers, partners, and outside experts.
