It's amazing how powerful video sites have become, especially with the launch of channels on youtube. Many companies are using video to get their message across. I remember seeing the Wimpy Impi commercial and searched for it online and then passed it on to friends. For average searching and information mobiles are fine but as soon as the media gets richer then it becomes expensive. Video sites chow bandwith like crazy. The power of social influence will definitely increase. I've often got great tips and ideas just by asking my facebook friends. It's amazing the wealth of knowledge my facebook friends have.

I'm also glad you pointed out that growth for 2-screen browsing wouldn't be as high as most expect (although I do think you'll get some resistance from analysts who think differently), reason being that growth, I believe, often impedes maturity of usage. The average consumer out there needs time to 'get use' to new technologies and speed of browsing. This is essential to allow for meaningful interaction.

What I predict is that with around 41% of all internet usage being on mobile we will will however not see much higher growth for 2 screen browsing due to cost and lack of speed and robust technology. My wish for 2010 from mobile service providers would be a higher effort to offer consumers robust network so our browsing and usage of video, applications is fast and reliable. I would also like to see prices down so more consumers can use smartphones for cost effictive communication. I fully agree with your predictions for 2010 around DigiMedia.
