3 themes of 2006

There appears to be three themes recurring in all ‘2006 predictions’, ‘Top 10 top things for 2006..’ etc etc. These are

1. Open Source Software
2. Web 2.0
3. SAAS (Software as a service)

SAAS is a new generation of the ASP model which featured so prominently (and unsuccessfully) in the dotcom boom. The model which looked so good ‘on paper’ back then looks good again ‘on paper’ now, but the difference should be access to high-speed internet and better web (some may argue web 2.0) technologies. This allowing solutions like salesforce.com and netsuite to be apparently gaining so much ground.
