What does this picture have to do with this blog? Nothing.

Coming home from Inman Connect San Francisco, I had a lot to think about. We heard a lot of information that people brought in and shared. Even more importantly, when you get clusters of smart people together, you can almost feel the ideas fly off of them. The first day Rob Hahn challenged a group of us with the question, “What do you think the next big thing will be?”

Three years ago, there was no twitter. If I could have anticipated its impact, I would have orchestrated its creation myself, somehow. When I was speaking with him six months ago, my friend Alex (no, not @alex) suggested a whole different way of interfacing with computer intelligence, something more organic and less artificial. Maybe this new kind of interface will be combined with a different way of organizing our interactions with online information.

The thing is, who knows? The next big thing will sneak up on someone in the night, like love does. Either the person whom the idea finds will be smitten with it so his (or her) passion can carry him through days of doubt and wondering if the MasterCard will hold out, or not.

What do you think the next big thing will be?
