ProBlogger 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.

Good luck with your last prediction
I definitely went out on a limb on the Zune! Especially having just purchased some iPods for my kids for Christmas. It’s my longshot.
Thanks for the luck, I need it! Know any great looking 25-30 year-old millionaire ex-models that love big single dads who like to blog in all their spare time?

We also participated in this project, stop on by if you get a chance!
I too participated in thius contest.Just waiting for darren to put it in his next post
I am feeding your blog
Wide Monitors - yep, already seeing it.
Zune - Hmmm, I’m on the tipping point of buying one.
Can’t really see the first thing happening (and at any rate not so quickly), but certainly hope for the second one to become true.
(Hey, that would mean that all PC owners with an iPod would now get a IntelMac and sync it with some Microsoft software? Hm…)
