Posted by Jeff as Uncategorized

Every year I say “I’m not going to write one of those damned prediction posts” but I end up doing just that. For this year I was thinking over the Christmas break that I don’t have just a list of predictions but also a list of aspirations (but because search engines send a lot of [...]

Found on Flickr.   

Loic is making a very good point, one that is becoming increasingly common as more people acquire mobile web access and have instantaneous broadcast capabilities with services like Twitter.
