Thanks for sharing the Gartner list which makes sense to me. Sadly, in content, most of the attention has been on "legally bound to" in the past few years which, while providing a good market for compliance vendors and e-discovery, doesn't do much to help businesses innovate.I share your enthusiasm for mobile and your pragmatism on cloud.On Google, I could talk for hours. I don't think I've ever seen so many smart people accomplish so little with so much money other than the two fundamental innovations of PageRank and Adsense.Best,Dave

The two items on your list that interest me most are #1 – deploying technology for advantage and #8 – mobility.Gartner once reported on the five justifications why businesses sign-off IT investments, in order: a) they are legally bound to do so, b) revenue enhancement, c) cost reduction, d) risk mitigation and e) first-mover advantage. It's a sensible list and I think we can re-order them in 2009, so we'll all be glad to have them back in some sort of correct sequence in 2010 and look forward to the innovation that this will fuel!On mobility – I agree. This is an explosion about to happen and I for one am saving up for the Apple tablet to see what it offers, though more seriously, MLS of course is going to be a key application.I predict, like many hypes before, that corporate social networking will pass its peak (just like virtual worlds in the workplace did!) and cloud computing will simply become a sensible option for non-mission critical applications with users that span geographies.You're a brave man to highlight Google!
