Excited about 2010

I’m excited about 2010. I know there’s significant unemployment, legislative uncertainty, and plenty of other issues, but there’s so much to be excited about in the technology and web world. We’re still only scratching the surface on how the Internet is going to affect our lives. This year, we saw Twitter hit the mainstream, location-aware apps like Foursquare start to take off, and social gaming infiltrate all aspects of Facebook. And that’s just the consumer side.

The business side of things is seeing even more change with cloud computing (e.g. Amazon’s EC2, Google Apps, etc), marketing automation platforms, and crowdsourcing (e.g. CrowdSpring). 2010, and the next decade, is going to have even more change. I like to think of the 90s as the decade of the Internet while the 2000s was the decade of the social Internet and smart phones. It’s inevitable major change is coming.

I want to wish everyone a happy new year’s and reiterate how excited I am for 2010.
