Fred,
I just found this thing today on del.icio.us:

Looks interesting. Not necessary mainstream, but on the right track. Linux based, documented and good developer community.

Interesting to see what your looking for in 2006. You should help a company build a new business model outside advertising. You'll see Podcast/vidcast commercials. There's got to be more to mainstream Internet than google, msn, amazon, ebay and yahoo. Something unique is gonna hit this year I just know it.

I'm all about #4, I have a few business plans that I am working on in this arena.

For #6, I'm surprised that a 'type in the word seen in the picture' engine hasn't surfaced to combat blog spam. This should be fairly easy to implement (words containing 5-7 random letters + some controlled randomization of the pixels). Such technology exists and is used by Google, Yahoo, etc. to ensure they don't get inundated with fake signups.

I have one resolution: To embrace the future, no matter what it holds, while retaining my romance with the 'old world'. You know what I mean.

Blogs really share a similar hierarchy to message boards. They will eventually come closer together IMO so that people can get responses to posts or threads that they've subscribed to either via RSS or email. It is indeed hard to track right now.
