What Happened In 2008 ?

December 29, 2008 · Filed Under Ideas & Thoughts

Here is a quick list of things that happened in 2008 that I blogged about. Of course there is plenty of other important things that I didn’t get the chance to talk about.

January:
Google Adsense Killers: I have yet to see them kill anything.
The Start of OpenID: The great OpenID project goes full gear.

March:
My BlackBerry Pearl: How would I ever live without this great phone. I am now an official crackberry user.
Netflix Movies On Demand: Downloading movies straight to your tv is going to be a great future.

June:
The FireFox 3 Buzz: I still love this browser but Chrome is doing pretty good also.

July:
Cuil Search Engine: Big rumors about a Google Killer but at the end it has yet to prove anything.

August:
Magazines Online Free: It was a great inatiave and a great idea but it didn’t seem to work. Maybe it will work better in a future.

September:
Google Chrome: Google unveils their own web browser that seems to have a good future so far. I use it every now and then.

October:
It was a slow month for me but I turned 21.

November:
First Black President ever elected in the history of the United States, Barack Obama. For sure the biggest thing of the year in my eyes.

December:
Nothing yet…

I will keep updating this list as times goes by and I remember things. Feel free to add any suggestions.
Also check out Wireds Top Technology Breakthrough of 2008. My favorite of that list is the flexible display which is something I believe we will be seeing a lot in the future.
