Business Week this week has a burst of articles, called the “Eight Tech Trends of 2006,” that in one way or another tap into the arrival of the web as an entertainment platform, a force in social networking and a driver of new mobile applications. One piece, by Heather Green, is a panoramic view of the spate of television 2.0 developments, from Brightcove to videoblogs to the migration of traditional TV content to the Internet.
Another article in this cluster, penned by Cliff Edwards, takes a look at the growing rivalry between consumer electronics makers and PC manufacturers to become the destination platform for web-delivered entertainment. Yet another piece, by Ben Elgin, looks at Yahoo!’s focus on social networking.
Olga Kharif takes a look at the stiffening competition in new wireless services in this piece, and Burt Helm looks at the expanding capabilities of mobile phones in this article. Finally, Spencer Ante discusses how all these trends are adding up to big employee demand in tech-land in this article.
