I don’t know if you’ve noticed this, but software is on the way out. Online applications are on their way in. With faster and more efficient Internet access everywhere, companies that can create online services that don’t require you to purchase software are finding enormous success.

The recent attempt by the world’s largest software company(Microsoft) to acquire one of the world’s largest online businesses (Yahoo) bears this out. Microsoft sees Google as a huge threat to their profits. Their attempt to thwart off the new giant in the industry which offers free gourmet food to all of it’s employees is a defensive and telling maneuver.

What this tells young entrepreneurs is that this would not be a good time to go into the software industry. If you want your business to be high tech, ground breaking, and relevant in the coming years, you’ve got to make sure that it’s accessible online.

Strong new business’s that fit this trend include: Internet fax, streaming video, email services, entertainment web pages, etc. Basically, if it’s web based you might be onto something.

Startup business creators who can understand the shifting technologies, not just following the trend, but see the trends a few years off will have enormous success in building strong and extremely fast growing businesses.
