The prediction, in brief:

I wouldn’t be surprised if some of these companies are gone in a few years.

Predictor: Noglows, Paul

Prediction, in context:

In a 1995 article for The New York Times, Reed Abelson quotes Paul Noglows, the business editor of Interactive Week magazine, producer of the Interactive Week Internet Index. Abelson writes:”Companies have already been busily lobbying Mr. Noglows to be included in the index. The list of companies that make up the index will be reviewed each quarter, he said, and will change slightly as new companies prove themselves Internet players and old companies do not. The list is by no means a prediction about which companies will succeed, Mr. Noglows said. ‘I wouldn’t be surprised if some of these companies are gone in a few years,’ he said.”
