That was the year that was Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

Yes, it’s that time of year when people look back at events of the past year and come up with predictions for next year. There are so many of these kinds of stories that have already been published, I’m going to summarise some of them and link to them. Today, it’s looking back at 2008:

  • From AdAge - Check out Digital Predictions that Didn’t Pan Out, Viral Videos You Should Have Seen (my vote goes to Christian the Lion - it’s a tear-jerker, and the only appropriate use of Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” on record!), and the Fastest Rising Search Terms of 2008 (I’ve heard of that Obama fellow, but who the hell is David Cook?)
  • 2008 was the year of online reputation management, crowdsourcing, and the rise of the attention economy, according to BizCommunity.com
  • Barack Obama was the social media pin-up boy for 2008 (too many links to choose from)
  • Twitter is becoming a victim of its own success

Tomorrow, predictions for 2009…
