Reviews and Predictions

Crystal BallProBlogger has another fantastic Group Writing Project. (You can participate, too!)

Darren is a lot like having a personal coach for blogging. Rarely do I see a post on ProBlogger that isn’t totally original. I think Darren puts forth an extraordinary effort to make blogs better throughout the Internet.

This Group Writing Project is to come up with a creative list, rant, etc. of reviews for last year or predictions for the upcoming year. I decided to be a little creative and try a combination of both. Below you’ll find my personal reviews of what was great in 2006 and my thoughts on what will be great in 2007. Keep your eye on the 2007 predictions, I think I’ve done a pretty thorough job of documenting out the different areas my blog touches on and thinking seriously about the direction each of the topics are taking.

Enjoy! As always, comments welcome. And be sure to keep track at ProBlogger so you can check out what everyone else is writing about.
