John Battelle, author of “The Search” and Searchblog, has been listing his internet predictions for a few years, and he’s got some interesting ones for 2008 over at Searchblog.

Among John’s predictions are these:

Wall Street will start to challenge Google’s potential to keep growing earnings so dramatically .

Yahoo will partner in a large way with another online player and may start to flex it’s online traffic muscle more effectively.

Online advertising will continue to grow even if we see a recession.

Many venture funded companies will die.

John has a good record of predicting things and these all sound very reasonable to me, so my money is on Battelle for 2008.
