STBD New Year's Wishes, Vol. 2

As I mentioned earlier, it wouldn't be a season of joy and giving if we didn't make a few wishes on behalf of our friends in the new media space. So, in honor of their efforts and contributions -- and generally being very cool people -- here's what we're hoping for them in 2007 (in no particular order):
