We at Result have always thought that once you have chiseled out an internet business model that works locally, it's almost a sin not to expand it into other markets. Given today's internet penetration and  users' behavior that's more true than ever.

1. Content is king, contacts are queen.
2. Media will all be focusing more on monetization of (sometimes: hidden) digital assets.
3. Subscription models for premium features and services will blossom.
4. Filesharing will, in all kinds of disguises, remain a main driver of social media’s success.
5. The most successful communities and social media that don’t have a sustainable revenue model can be acquired relatively cheaply.
6. Big American communities will focus on monetizing non U.S. traffic.
