Not a surprise, predicted this almost 2 years ago (do I get a cookie?
) Anyway, if what I think (and already said) continues to be true, many people here should be ready to pack their belongings. Those who should have fought at that time didn't, and even thought some of them may still do it, they won't. Those who wanted to fight but didn't have the resources will be in a worst situation soon.
The good news is that for those that have resources AND a brain, this might be a blessing in disguise. Either way, the future of the industry will be very interesting one year from now.
Want another prediction? At least 50% of the big companies will disappear in less than 18 months. It's not magic, just using simple logic and bits of knowledge, the same I used to make my "magical" guesses.
And last but not least, those small time webmasters that have a commitment and a passion for what they do, those who are able to sacrifice things, take risks and work hard, those have a nice opportunity window they didn't have before. Probably none of them will get mega-rich, but the opportunity is out there and up for grabs
