I also thought this was true because I have a habit of reading from the middle down. It's only when I read the top that I saw these are predictions. :-)

And then I saw WineCountry being acquired by Nederburg and I thought...hang on....

Excellent post though...very well written and planned.

Dan, you're welcome to make suggestions as to what you think could happen.

I'm know many people want to see huge revolutionary changes in SA's online business and make a global impact, and I'm glad that you believe it can happen, so please share your thoughts.

Dear Dan - I bet the company names will be around for longer than three years [it takes quite a bit of effort and money to establish a business name/brand].

This however does not mean that the nature of their businesses will remain the same. Service and product offerings can/will evolve with time and as the industry grows and changes.

Come on dude, do you really think the same companies will be doing the same thing in 3 years?

Thanks everyone for stopping by, glad you enjoyed the post [hopefully as much as I enjoyed writing it].

No other suggestions? Come now people, just because its Monday doesn't mean there's an excuse for not contributing a 2010 thought or two :-)

Ha ha, only a couple of years and then we can see how many come true. Tyler, something we should know? ;-)

Red, when does your story come out? Would make a pretty fascinating read, I'm sure.

Lol. Thanks for this Darren. Brightened my day. I was skim reading, and actually thought all this was true until I came across Max and my name.
Rock on!

This is great. Funnily enough, I was working on a scifi short about South Africa's potential explosion onto the interwebs. I think we're reaching critical mass pretty fast.

hahaha Darren you're such a legend.
But major webdev would border on nightmare stakes for me :-P
The dream is creating OpenCulture Urban Co.labs (co.working lifelong.learning playspace nodes run on opensource principles).
But HOW were you to know that because I haven't been blogging it!
Thanks Darren - love from the stormy dorpie in the south

Brilliant! Well worth the laugh (read it a few times), and hey some of it could come true. ;)
