Is there a website or other source to find predictions by either
research cos or analysts or Internet "gurus" that were made 1-5 years
ago that are today proven to have be way off.  Context is B to B only.
Ie, predications about 'o1 or '02 online transaction volume; great b2b
marketing sites, how the web would be used today by businesses.  I
need the "bad" prediction citations..and, if possible, current info
that shows how wrong they were.

Hello industryguy-ga,

You’re in luck. There has been so much hype in the last five years
about the transformation of the world of business with the e-commerce
that the business press has been prolific in issuing predictions.
There is also quite a lot of information available from consulting
groups big and small. In addition, specialized Web sites have emerged
to serve the B2B and e-commerce markets with reporting geared to their
needs and offering research reports and other resources.

The material I’ve found tends to mix terminology and materials for the
specific B2B oriented information you’re looking for. To help make
sense of the large number of links, I’ve categorized them into three
groups.
B2B related information and predictions
General e-commerce information and predictions
Consulting groups and Web resource sites

I’m providing you with a variety of resources to answer your
questions. I hope they’ll meet your needs.
