While it may be truly impossible to identify the Next Big Thing for certain, here are some sites worth checking out to help you in that quest.

Kevin Kelly's Blog - Without question, a great technological visionary who has predicted any number of Next Big Things.

Trendhunter - A wacky but fun online trendspotting magazine.

Trendwatching - A more serious trend watching company whose site is full of incredible information about upcoming trends.

eHub - Emily Chang's fantastic blog that keeps track of new Web 2.0 technologies.

One big trend I think bears watching is the whole semacode, tagging, object hyperlinking movement. For more info, check out these sites:

Semacode.org

Qode.com

Kooltag.com
