One of the smartest people I know is my friend Tom Barnes from Mediathink.  For 20+ years, I’ve known Tom and he continues to surprise and amaze me.  Each year, on his site
http://www.mediathink.com/blog/?p=2139, Tom posts “Trends I’m Watching” -- and he actually has the B*#@s to link to prior-year predictions so you can see just how right he was.

This year is a must-read.  His insights from what the changes in Facebooks mean to users and marketers to on-demand programming of all kinds, to legacy media, to crowd-sourcing is eye-opening to say the least.

Do me and yourself a favor and take a few minutes to read this ... and take an extra minute and read last year’s  http://www.mediathink.com/blog/?p=313 and you’ll see that Tom is a real visionary ... and maybe you should pay attention!
