I would say social networking, business networking, blogging, video on the net, and the increasing oneness of the internet and text messaging. I remember, years ago, not that many years, maybe 10, people were talking about the internet as a way to meet people. Well, here we are in 2007, and more than ever, people are meeting people via the large number of social and business networking sites. I work in real estate, and see a mushrooming of real estate networking sites. Blogging is truly a liberating activity. A blogger is writer that would never be a writer in the paper classical sense. Also, with the usefulness of text messenging, many companies, and websites, are offering texting for information, by simply inputing some data in the cell phone or smart phone, the data getting process online, and information is fed back to the cell phone, smart phone user. This is incredible. You can even text to find the best bargains for products and receive text messages with that where the deals. Unthinkable in the near past.

Blogs are one of the largest enhancements in Internet. Some more things are going very rapidly. Social networking sites have the highest growth rate. Online money making sites are also growing rapidly specially in 2007. Another notable thing is domain and hosting costs are reduced too much so that every people now can think of a personal website not only a blog. You tube is a record breaking site for including free videos which at times bore high costs. So I think Internet is going to be more personalised day by day. But we have to combat the scams and spams which are spoiling the healthy development of Internet.
