Someone predicts that Microsoft will invent MemeStreams in 2008 and then it will be replaced by Google/Amazon in 2010. Very news centric in nature (as is MemeStreams), it ignores that much of the mass media consists of entertainment like movies and TV aside from mentioning Tivo. That's fine, I enjoy a good tale of the future, and this one points at in very obvious direction that most are oblivious of. Apparently some of the most significant technological innovations of the future will be branding, at least that's what I'm thinking after staring at company logos for eight minutes while being told a story.

"In 2005 people realized MemeStreams had already been there since 2001, it just didn't have the resources of Google or MSN. Wired wrote a news article, but the world continued talking about RSS feeds and BitTorrent."
