Merry Christmas From eBusiness Connections
From all of us at eBusiness Connections to you, have a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
2006 has been a great year for eBusiness as blogs and RSS are adopted by the mainstream. The technology behind Web 2.0 continues to impress us with it's abilities and possibilities. Google buys YouTube for $1.65 Billion and fuels the return of investors back to technology and the web.
The year 2006 began with Microsoft playing second fiddle to Google but promising big things in the not-too-distant future. The year finished up much the same way, with Microsoft–again under pressure from Google, but still making big promises about breakthrough products over the horizon. In between, the past 12 months added up to a transitional year for the computer business as new technologies and new business models further scrambled the industry constellation of forces.
In 2006, Google went to bat to protect consumer data privacy in the United States but was criticized for bowing to government pressure in China after it released a censored version of its Chinese Web search site.
All in all it was a very interesting year and we can't wait to see what 2007 will bring. Thanks to our regular readers and welcome to our new ones.
Merry Christmas from eBC!
