It was about a year ago when I read a similar article by SYS-CON about the predictions for Internet technology in 2006. That was the time when I read about the prospect of Rails, AJAX, and Web 2.0. That article intriqued my curiousity.

Looking back, a year has passed, I was glad that I jumped ship, and picked up Rails and AJAX, and polished up my Javascripts skills at the same time. The skills will come in handy in 2007, as next year’s prediction is pretty much similar, i.e. expect richer experience in Internet applications, stronger adoption of Linux, and the possibility of Jonathan Schwartz open-sourcing Java. Do you think he will do that? I bet so.

Update: Another article from Readwriteweb.com on 2007 web predictions, touches on vertical search engines, again rich internet apps (watch out for Adobe’s Apollo platform), Interenet based TV and mobile web.
