Special Christmas Feature:
Internet predictions for 2007

Who last year would have predicted that Rupert Murdoch would buy MySpace for $580m? Or that little-known YouTube would be the hit of the year and get snapped up by Google for a staggering $1.65bn? The twists and turns of the Internet can make a fool out of the wisest commentator.

Never afraid to get egg on their faces though, the Cubeworks team have stepped up to the challenge of predicting what 2007 will have in store for the Internet. Would you agree with our choices?
