Hell Freezes Over, Google Fiber, Facebook Ads on Google, InstaGram Videos On TV!
My Predictions For 2014
People ask me all the time what my predictions are for the internet space and business. I've been here long enough to start seeing trends, things predicably going in a way that good business would go.
Let me just say that when Google stocks SHOT UP to $1000 per share yesterday and they also announced that they'll begin selling Facebook ads on their platform, I wasn't surprised.
Several months ago I began to share why I believe Google Fiber will drive the company into profits they never would have anticipated. When you combine the forces of Fiber and Internet.org we'll begin to see a "Brave New World" for the internet as we know it.
Just yesterday Google SHOCKED everyone and many said, "DID HELL FREEZE OVER?" (see article by Mashable http://on.mash.to/19gOuV9 ) when they announced they'd be selling Facebook ads. WHY ON EARTH would the Giant Google partner with it's competition, Giant Facebook? Because they've got bigger fish to fry!
Google Fiber will change the world just like Google search did. I was around when the dudes left college and started Google. I placed ads on their platform the first week they opened for business. Doing $20,000 per month in ads back in the 90's, I built a big multi-million dollar kitchenware business. Everyone though they were crazy. That's a good sign they aren't. Take note of that when people say things like 'crazy, dreamer, out of your mind' about your drams.
Google Fiber will be the path Google chases and I've been predicting for about a year that Facebook will become the most ROBUST search engine we've yet to experience. It's driven by MORE people than anywhere else, real time. People ask their friends on Facebook about things long before they read reviews on blogs. They search Amazon and Facebook first. Facebook will rise in the search mountain and Google will SOAR in Fiber world.
We'll also see InstaGram videos showing up on TV.
The television space is already being thrust forward into new dimensions with the internet TV world and mobility. The mobile culture is steering our ENTIRE WORLD and we will start seeing internet ads showing up on our big 64" television screens! Mobile devices in every pocket. BIGGER screens in every home.
Enter the new world of 10-14 second commercials on TV! Can you say "Hallelujiah!"? But before you think it won't last because they're not long enough, please know that effective blueprinting is taking place every single day on Giant YouTube with their quick interruptive commercials that are 4-7 seconds.
A brave new internet as we know it.
Being pushed forward by mobile culture.
A device in every hand. Internet in every land.
My friends, 2014 is going to be a WILD year and it's time you stopped playing around!
With love,
Sandi Krakowski
