User Generated Telecom, Media and Technology Predictions

Dutch flag The title of this blog is ‘The Next Web’. We are constantly looking for events, technology, services and people who are changing the web. In a way, we are trying to predict the future so you can take advantage of that. And of-course we are not the only ones doing this.

Deloitte, a company that offers services in audit, tax, consulting and financial advisory, is also interested in the future of technology. But instead of just reading this blog they have invited the public to help them.

They are hosting a Dutch predictions event in association with Fast50.nl which will take place on February 13, 2008. During this event, Deloitte presents its vision on the Telecom, Media, and Technology market for 2008.

Prior to the event, everyone is invited to participate in a discussion on these predictions on the weblog www.dutchpredictions.nl. The input from this blog discussion will be an important driver for the event on February 13.

It will be interesting to see what will be the result of all these user generated predictions. If valuable information comes to light I’m sure we will see similar events in the other 139 countries where Deloitte is based.

I hope you like that post!
