Web Trends 2010
Silentblast Interative - Toronto Web Design and Development
I have been reading some interesting articles on web trends for 2010 and have found them to be an interesting read. I however, just find the approach in noting web trends really wide and all encompassing. So I will focus on the business aspects of web trends I believe that will continue to flow in from web trends in 2009 towards 2010. If your business has ignored or not considered some of the major trends and changes of the internet in 2009; 2010 is the year you should consider doing so.
With YouTube in itself being one of the top search related engines and growing; web video done by “do it yourselfer’s” is going to continue its monumental growth. A lot of companies are currently using YouTube as the means of delivering uploaded video content to showcase their company’s products and services. For a company it may be one thing to show a product on their website with a graphic and some literature but showing a product doing what it is advertised to do with video demonstrations is another unique level that if not done already, can easily be done.
Cloud Computing
Movement towards working within the clouds; more or less off your desktop; while showed positive signs of growth in 2009 will emerge stronger in 2010. The ability to work anywhere, but able to get to a computer and an internet connection is an area both employers and employees are eying closely. With Microsoft Office having web apps; Live Mail services plus Google Apps and the Google OS on the horizon there is not a lot of reasons to not work anywhere specific such as an office. The world as long as you have a computer and an internet connection will in essence be your office. Other services for collaboration on work projects such as Basecamp will also continue their momentum in their growth.
Social Media
With Facebook just announcing over 350 million users worldwide and Twitter continuing its popular growth; they represent two of the highest impact social media sites that are both hard to ignore and can’t be ignored by business. Being in business means being social; and while the trend of Facebook and Twitter are not new by any means; if you’re business does not have some form of presence on it; you should.
Out in front is Apple Inc. with their iPhone and iPod Touch. Business is catching on that if you want to deliver content such as news, products or services in real time to a society that is very mobile it has to be delivered by a mobile application. Major news networks and big business are leaders of the pack in terms of stepping up to the plate and offering applications for mobile devices.
Mobile Device Friendly Websites
As more people are using hand-held mobile devices; this will have to be eventually addressed by the business community at large. What your website displays as on a computer screen and what it displays as on a mobile device can be entirely two different things.
Websites That Deliver Content
Always a trend and will continue to be. If you have a website that is nothing more than a poster board on a pole it is not doing a lot for your web presence nor your company. Give your visitors a reason to come back or to even consider using your products or services. Use web development tools such as content management systems (CMS) to deliver product catalog information, services offered and news about your company and its products and services.
Consider a blog for your company as well. It is written not in the same manner as the deliverables of a CMS system but rather more personal. It puts the human behind the website and the company the blog is representing. The search engines, which Google is the undisputed leader; literally loves blogs and of course content on your website.

Lots of of bloggers not really pleased with the new iPad.There was just too much hype over it and lots of people got disapointed.You see, I can actually see great deal of the awesome potential of the device. Third-party applications for making tunes, games, newsprints and magazine and FFS books, all sorts of awesome stuff, but they just didn’t really sell it very well (aside from the books). It looks kind of not finished

I look at the Apple iPad as a blown up version of the iPod Touch. Beyond the initial news reports over the past few days on the new device from Apple I have not really looked into reading more information on the iPad. I tend to agree that it probably is not a complete product in its initial production. Usually 1.0 versions of anything in the software and tech world are in many ways finished products but not polished products in that all the really cool stuff it could probably do is not incorporated yet.

March 6th, 2010 at 8:24 am
The thing is ver good. Write please more
March 10th, 2010 at 7:47 pm
You have tested it and writing form your personal experience or you find some information online?
March 11th, 2010 at 10:12 pm
Thanks for your comments. As for testing as it were the web trends of 2010; some are testable; others are based on a business decision by a given business entity. Some are obviously from personal experiences and there is as I did state in the beginning of the blog post; that several articles on web trends were read to begin planting the seeds to my thoughts on an article on the topic.
March 11th, 2010 at 10:15 pm
Traffic comes in time. I would do search for example on Google that relate to “blog strategies” as one way to start your path towards a successful blog. Traffic takes time; any blogger will tell you that. And keep writing… the hardest thing to do that is the core of the blog in the first place is writing.
March 11th, 2010 at 10:23 pm
Thank you for the comments. Better late than never really in responding eventually.
March 11th, 2010 at 11:59 pm

That rss page on your website here is splendid, you should tell more folks about it in your next post. I haven’t noticed it a first, now I’m using it each morning to check on any updates. I’m on a real slow dial-up connection in Australia and it’s quite daunting to sit there and wait for such a long time ’til the page loads… but hey, I just found your rss page and added it to the Google Reader and voil? – I’m always up-to-date! Well pal, keep up the good work and make that rss button a little bigger so that other people can enjoy that as well
