I’m off to Vermont to give the keynote speech at the annual meeting of the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation. I’ll be talking about the future of the web and using a David Letterman style top 10 list as the framework.

So what do you think is the top trend in web development?  I’ll give you my answer after my speech. (I don’t want to spoil the suspense for my friends in Vermont )

A recent post on Read/Write Web titled 2007 Will Be A Big Year For RSS explains how the arrival of IE7, Vista and other new products should bring RSS to the mainstream. I agree that RSS is ready for prime time. I have been using RSS for quite some time now and find it a real time-saver. In this age of dynamic content, I couldn’t begin to keep up with the flow of information without RSS. It also has simplified the syndication of content across multiple web sites which both mitigates the risk of inaccurate content and improves the user experience.
