Gartner's 2006 Hype Cycle
I'm generally of the view that Gartner's hype cycle releases say more about Gartner than about technology markets -- they are really about hype-ing its upcoming publishing schedule -- but nevertheless, this year's "emerging technologies" release is worth a look. Their three biggies are:- Web 2.0 (including social network analysis, which is actually a good enterprise-y way of looking at that aspect)
- Real World Web (location-aware tech, sensors, etc.)
- Applications architecture (software as a service, distributed apps, etc.)
There are useful further musings by Dion Hinchcliffe here, and Peter Rip here.

I never understood the fascination with Gartner. I guess they are some form of independent viewpoints in a world where everyone has the answer. But to assume they are strategic thought leaders and visionaries is rather hilarious. That sure is a purdy chart though. I bet they want to sell alot of them, huh?
where is "clean tech" on the map?
Or maybe it ain't "sexy" enough for Gartner??
