Steve Safran at Lost Remote takes a look back at some of the responses to his suggestions regarding the web. These bring back a lot of memories:

• Nobody will break news on their site before the story airs
• Newspapers won’t put much news online because it will cannibalize sales
• Nobody will buy web advertising
• Only young people use the web, and they don’t want news
• The bubble has burst – there’s no future in the web now
• There is no need to hire a web-only salesperson
• News websites will never “blog” or have anything to do with blogging
• Social networking tools don’t belong on news sites
• The networks will never send programming directly to the audience and ignore the locals
• People won’t watch video online because the quality is not high enough
• People won’t watch video on an iPod because the picture is not big enough
• Viewers won’t upload video and pictures because it’s too hard to do
