If 2008 was the year of mapping software (as we saw unfold at N2Y3), I predict that 2009 will be the year of the connective algorithm widget thingie. It will be this year that we'll see the rise in popularity and development of services and software intended to bring people, organizations, resources, capital, and other social assets together. If Amazon and Netflix can, for the most part, understand that if I like X and Y, then I'll probably like Z, there's no reason why - by way of cataloging and tagging - various widget won't be starting to tell my nonprofit and me that if we're invested in X and providing Y, then Z has person-power, money, or time to volunteer to our collective mission.
