"Even the WPW site has video's of events and interviews with very interesting SEO people. You should be interested in those."
Funny isn't it. We do have a whole generation (or two) out there that was brought up with newspapers. I was one of the first TV kids, I lived in London as a child and my father had the first TV in the street, London had TV early. I am not that ancient. .
It is extremely easy and tempting to presume everyone uses the net in the same way we use it ourselves. this is just miles away from a true picture. Despite all the Hype, there are millions who never look at a web screen. millions who would not touch it with a barge pole.
My own site is classified ads, all the hype and buzz tells us that Ebay and some other sites are selling millions. The truth is newspapers specialty and classified adverts magazine bought in the local newsagenty sell more cars by a 10,000 fold.
I do not think I will be making any predictions for 2008, I get feedback from my own users, and most of them are pretty dissatisfied with the whole net experience. But If I did make a prediction about the future. I would say, any one who can make people feel safe and secure, just browsing the net, listing an email, corresponding with others. Will take the whole bundle.
The Internet might be moving fast. . But mostly the biggest percentage of web users is still plodding along at a far slower place.
You were right Peter, it does take 3 of four years for people to upgrade their PC. It might take even longer to upgrade a lifetimes habits.
