Think &#8220;Garanimals for Grown-ups&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>RSS moves beyond the web to independent devices.  Someone will build a stand-alone digital picture frame that pulls in flickr feeds via WiFi.  Do this please unknown RSS genius, I beg you.<\/li>\n<li>Amazon adds a friends section (ala Netflix), so I can see what my friends have read and how they rated books.<\/li>\n<li>My company will track employee entry\/exit from the building &#038; tie this into the employee phonebook so I can tell if someone&#8217;s actually in the office.  Better yet, they tie this into the company meeting system so I can tell if I&#8217;m being ducked or if should get voicemail.<\/li>\n<li>I will be able to have an intelligent conversation with a co-worker about the merits of RSS, Wikis or Blogs in the workplace.  Additionally, others at work won&#8217;t shun me for bringing the subject(s) up.<\/li>\n<li>e-Harmony, Match and other on-line services will provide RSS feeds for compatible dates. Rejection will happen more efficiently.<\/li>\n<li>The boundaries between flickr, feedster, 43 things, furl and others will continue to blur until it doesn&#8217;t matter which site you&#8217;re on.  The total experience will be available from any site.<\/li>\n<li>Similiarly, a company (Apple, please?) will make a handheld device that will take pictures, provide phone service, play MP3s and do all the lovely PDA stuff so I can chuck these stand-alone devices and once again use my skinny purses.<\/li>\n<li>Firefox will become the default RSS reader, if not the default browser, for my company.<\/li>\n<li>Someone (Gmail, Hotmail, Who?) will provide RSS feeds so I can then manage all my content from one source.<\/li>\n<li>And finally, all of my friends will put RSS feeds on their blogs! (hint, hint)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I realize I can&#8217;t prove some of these publically, but I&#8217;ll know if they came true or not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Battelle has published his predictions for 2005, and he&#8217;s got some great ideas.
