It&#8217;s going to be cool to be <strong>guyly<\/strong> again.\n<\/li>\n<li>We at xsamplex will still carry the same boring layout. That&#8217;s because we&#8217;re boring! And the traffic is the prove of that! We&#8217;ll be stuck in the blogosphere&#8217;s No-List.\n<\/li>\n<li>Alan of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.genx40.com\">GenX-40<\/a>, will go A-List. Now it&#8217;s a good time to link to  him.\n<\/li>\n<li>Dave Winer will launch the newest blogging craze: put pictures of your favourite friends and buddies on your blog&#8217;s header section. It will be called &#8216;header link love&#8217; (HLL) but frankly, we at xsamplex prefer to call it <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hl2world.com\/wiki\/index.php\/Headcrab\">&#8216;head crab&#8217;<\/a>.\n<\/li>\n<li>Scoble (while we&#8217;re at it) will evangelize the newest blogging craze at Microsoft to advance his carreer at said company: put pictures of your favourite CEOs and managers on your blog&#8217;s header section (CLL). Dave Winer will claim it&#8217;s the same as &#8216;header love&#8217; and Scoble and Winer will have a fallout. As a result of the fallout, both Dave and Scoble will be demoted to the C-List.\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blakeross.com\/index.php\">Blake Ross<\/a> will turn Firefox into a Jack Of All Trades application: it will be able to do everything except for rendering HTML. After all HTML is so 1.0.\n<\/li>\n<li>Internet Explorer 7 will be released but nobody will actually remember what it was used for before, because everybody has already switched to other browsers like Opera, Camino or Firefox.\n<\/li>\n<li>The web will run out of diskspace because of hyperlinking abuse. Tim Berners-Lee will ask proprietors of websites not to use the &lt;a&gt; anchor tag anymore, which will save approximately 50% of diskspace on servers worldwide. Dave Winer will suggest to get rid of the &lt;p&gt; tag by arguing that &#8216;nobody needs paragraphs anyways&#8217;.\n<\/li>\n<li>Oh, and a last one: blogging about politics is going to be so <em>2004-2005<\/em>. Blogging about guyly things is going to be the next thing. You heard it here first.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/p>\n<p>There. Have at it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While we&#8217;re at it, here are my predictions for 2006 in no particular order: Guyly will be the new thing.
