2002 big story? The un-social aspects of the adult business - hundreds of webmaster resources and chat boards, everyone niche-ing themselves down to their little corners of the world and not paying attention to anyone else.
Maybe also the start of the squeeze... income is down for almost everyone, and the lower rungs of the ladder are now under water. Those without a snorkel are going to sleep with the fishes soon enough.
2003? Well, with mainstream overdosing on consoles, I expect to see more and more "anti-console" things happen. More and more traffic coming from paid listing and less and less traffic for normal SE listings.
Google dropping a bit as Yahoo slides over to Inktomi, perhaps.
The end of DMOZ as it was known.
Watch the TV... you will see what is next in porn (hint, Survivor didn't draw all that well on it's final night for Thailand... some forms of reality are already burning out... Anyone want to try to write a 30 minute porn situation comedy?)
