Interesting to see Dennis Publishing licencing something available online for other countries - particularly as Scandinavia has a pretty high level of fluent English speakers and decent broadband speeds are the norm.

From $20 billiona year to $10 billion in just eight years - that's classifieds in print in the U.S.

Nice article by Chris (Long Tail) Anderson - someone who I have a lot of time for, (And who took the time to answer some Long Tail questions for me in the past by email, despite not knowing me from Adam).
For the record, I think he and Umair Haque are definitely tying up the various bits of evidence pointing towards a different business world for the future...

It seemed feasible to me then, and it's seeming ever more likely now!

Being able to sync Microsoft Office and Google Docs could be incredibly useful for widespread adoption/collaboration

Social rating and review site concetrating purely on web applications and web sites could be a good idea - certainly application reviews are useful, but are websites implicitly covered in just about every review site? Where else do Digg, Reddit, Yahoo Buzz etc send traffic?

I'd put a lot of the problems down to long periods with inoovation, and particularly usability improvements. When you're at the top, you need to keep going, not sit back, especially in such a emerging market and technology

Not sure if this is a bad thing, in that it's distorting public information - or at least people will find something they might be interested in. To be honest, I'd rather they focus on solving the problems, rather than marketing at the moment
