What are the local internet gurus excited about?
If you happened upon a copy of yesterday’s Icon in the Sydney Morning Herald you may have noticed “Dopple Your Fun” — where five local internet gurus — Cheryl Lead, Virginia Murdoch, John Allsopp, Lachlan Hardy and Tim Lucas were asked by the Herald’s Nick Galvan to extemporise on what they thought was “the latest thing”, as well as what was coming just over the horizon. Lachlan’s gone to the trouble to scan in the page and post it on Flickr (the Herald in their wisdom choose not to put Icon online), so you can check out their answers for yourself if you’re not in the habit of buying dead rain forests.
Even more intriguing though is to check the plethora of comments on Lachlan’s blog post where he puts the same question up for comment from his readers. Great to see such enthusiasm — check it out and add in your own ideas. This blog post could make a wonderful time capsule, allowing us to remember exactly what we thought was hot in August 2008.
