The internet hype shows no sign of cooling down and another IT-crash is not to speak of. Online forecasts predict nothing but clear skies and warm temperatures for the world’s greatest computer network. A growing majority of Earth’s population is spending hours online on secure connections every day, causing more and more businesses to migrate online. Online marketing is already a billion dollar industry and the ecommerce market is forcing shopping malls into bankruptcy all over the country every month. What’s next to come? What’s the e-hype of 2008?

Hi Brian, I'm a frequent reader but I haven't commented anything before. I think that the biggest hype of 2008, or at least for 2009 is standards. We recently saw that Microsoft took one huge step when making the upcoming Internet Explorer 8 to actually read html-code correct. I think that more will come.

Yeah prob! At least it's about time! WWW if still just a baby but looking at how much its being used and how important role it has come to play in our society and economy today, you would expect that standards would be the first thing to hype!
I have a feeling, due to the increased demand of dynamic websites from people and businesses, that site building tools will sky rocket in sales during coming years. There's just not enough knowledge and know-how amongst internet-users today to do it themselves.
