So long 2008, hello 2009.

It's the last day of the year, hurah!

What else could I do today than compile a set of links about the things that were important and those things that will become important in 2009.

Contagious did a very comprehensive overview of 2008 a couple of weeks ago, in case you missed it the pdf is here.

As for 2009, everybody who seems to be somebody has filed his predictions in a number of fields :

- The ubiquitous "Netlash 2009 voorspellingen, 20 experten aan het woord" (dutch only), here.
- Social Media Predictions 2009, an impressive list of A-list marketing geeks' predictions compiled by Peter Kim, here.
- More specialized, gaming trends in 2009, here.
- Mobile predictions by Contagious, here.
- Online advertising predictions by eMarketer here. And by the ever thrustworthy Economist here.
- And finally ReadWriteWeb's view on current ecommerce trends also hold some power to predict ecommerce's future in 2009, have a look at them here.

Happy reading and see you in 2009!
