Its not Like I am Nostradamus or anything but it only took 3 days for 1 of my 10 predicitons of 2007 to come true.

Yahoo has purchased MyBlogLog for 10 million dollars. Congrats to Eric, Scott and the rest of my friends over at MyBlogLog. You guys built a kickass site/widget and got a sweeeet ass payoff! Drinks on you (for life).

So which of the rest of the 9 do you think is next to come true? Maybe we will have a special prize if you can guess it.

Shoe I think your prediction of the Google computer/OS is right on. I was at the Googleplex not to long ago and they already have the GoogleOS (ubuntu on crack) running.

I don’t think the GoogleOS will be this year. I totally agree it’s in the pipeline, but I think Google has a lot of “half baked” products and they changed their attitude recently on the “sling it and see what sticks” approach to new products. An OS would have to be damn good to make people adapt from their current OS.

We are already 9 days into 2007 so predictions 6 and 9 have already come true as well right? :)

Besides those #8 has got to be my prediction for the next of your predictions to come true.

I hope they at least integrate mybloglog as a default into Y! 360, Y! Personals, and similar complimentary products. Otherwise, just more peanut butter. :)

Very cool! Congrats to them! File that under, “Cool idea that seems so obvious, yet I didn’t think of it.”

Still waiting to hear about your new stuff, Jeremy! Waiting, waiting… (not nice to keep a girl waiting!)

wow shoe you have inside contacts at yahoo that tell you what they are buying?? lol@ GADOOD

23 ShoeMoney January 9, 2007 at 3:35 pm

well if you count that it was on techcrunch 2 months ago that Yahoo was looking to buy them then I guess I had some info. Not sure on how inside it was lol..

I actually thought it would not be Yahoo otherwise I would have said Yahoo specifically in my prediction

Yeah this one came true the fastest:

6) The search engines will continue to just refund people for “invalid clicks� and keep making a ton of money from click fraud.

although i think something big is going to happen in this department later this year

I doubt there is going to be much change on this for this year. except if you provide “invalid click” reports you will get a refund. until enough people start submitting reports it won’t get much attention.

“Congrats to Eric, Scott and the rest of my friends over at MyBlogLog.”

I do see the word ‘friends’ in there Shoe, and if you mentioned Yahoo you may have spoiled the party for your ‘friends’.
