2010 Top Web Trends

Pete Cashmore, founder and CEO of Mashable predicts the top 10 web trends for 2010:

1. Real-time ramps up- including real-time collaboration
2. Location sharing services- our whereabouts may optionally be appended to every Tweet, blog comment, photo or video we post.
3. Augmented Reality- e.g.: Layar
4. Content curation- filters to prevent information overload
5. Cloud computing
6. Internet TV and Movies
7. Convergence conundrum- while many of our gadgets are folded into our smartphones, task-specific devices gain popularity, such as e-readers and flip video cameras
8. Social gaming- FarmVille on Facebook allegedly has more active users than does Twitter
9. Mobile Payments
10. Fame abundance, privacy scarcity
