M&Aが多そうとか,ブログがさらに増えそうとか,バーティカル検索が鍵とか,大半が想定内の話ばかり。でも,中には,ギョッとするコメントも。たとえば,最初に紹介されたFrank Anton(Hanley WoodのCEO)のコメントは,次の通り。
1. Business will be strong.CMPがTechTargetを買収するという話,本当に信じてよいのかな?
2. E-mail saturation will drive circulators back to telemarketing.
3. Web seminars will begin to saturate—pricing pressure will increase.
4. Following so many other fabulous Internet revolutions that don't make any money for anyone: blogs.
5. Publishers will restructure sales staffs to reflect where the revenue is, i.e. online salespeople versus print salespeople.
6. CMP will buy Tech Target.
