Crisis and innovation are intimately related, and companies are typically more innovative than paid technologists, who often merely duplicate the work of others.

The first point of interest is that Web Sites are turning more and more into Web Services. Indeed, most popular web 2.0 sites offer APIs (think del.icio.us, Twitter, etc.).
The second point of interest is the rise of the Intelligent Web, with semantic capabilities, automatic recommendations and personalization of services.
And the last point of interest is the emergence of the Mobile Web, bringing the Internet closer to the user.

Always good to keep in mind.
