  1. Stephen,
    What are your predictions? I’d be much more interested in what your predictions are than I am in the predictions of others. I think you have gotten in a habit of aggregating the blogosphere rather than posting your thoughts. I’d like to see fewer posts but more of your own content.
    You can edit out the last two sentences if you like. No hard feelings.

  2. Now BigE:
    But that’s the stuff people pay me for to maintain competitive advantage. Why would I give it away for free? Aggregating the work of others is “in” – it’s called open source. (a little humour)
    Anyway, I do a predictions article most years based on speeches and travels and publish it later here.
