What will 2011 bring?

So 2011 is now upon us.  A Happy New Year to everyone, I hope you all had a fantastic break.

Since returning from the Christmas break, back into the real world, there’s been big talk about what the trends for 2011 are going to be, with lots of predictions being thrown around.

Initially lots of people have gone stark raving bonkers over Quora – “A continually improving collection of questions and answers created, edited, and organized by everyone who uses it”.

Or as it appears to me: Yahoo Answers mixed with Wikipedia

It appears useful, but with millions of email notifications being sent through, is it going to be a victim of its own success?

The other site catching people’s attention is about.me – basically a central page where you can link out to all of your other social media pages.

This sounds handy, and could be a positive for SEO in terms of in-bound links, good for business cards and such like where there’s not much space, but you want to link to all your sites.  But do we really need another URL to link to?

It will be interesting over the course of the year to follow these sites, as well as many others that come along and try to be “the next big thing”.

Hopefully using the power of this blog I can try to document this in some small way.

I hope you have a happy and prosperous 2011.
