Yup, that's my prediction (and this guy's, and this guy's and this guy's): the year ahead will see the web diary take centre stage in new media, moving from hobby to mainstream, just as the web itself in recent years.
(Aside: it fascinates me that a large percentage of bloggers are under the age of 18. For the youngest of these webkids, the internet has *always* been there, just like television has always been there ... uh, hasn't it?)
Blogs are also getting a lot more mention in old media, from discussions of the relationship between 'the blogosphere' and print journalism, to the thorny legal issues surrounding the publication of any document, no matter how 'personal' its opinions, in cyberspace.
Happy oh-three, junkies. Blog on.
