My SEO prediction on Google is now up as a guest post over at Google Search Sucks, generously posted by Mr. Google Sucks himself about the following topic:

[I]f you’re looking to understand why Google will ultimately fail as a search engine in trying to keep a large emphasis on link juice, then read on.

Just had to comment about it to point it out as I could not help but notice a few predictions by Alan at SEO Image on his 2008 SEO Predictions:

4. SEO
Search Engine Optimization will be a web industry standard. More and more inexperienced SEO people will become prominent figures in the industry and still think they know what it is they are doing, despite never handling a single site. - Go Figure.

9. Social Media Sites
Social sites and forums will gain a larger percentage of searches and cause other older communities to fear them or buy them.

10. Link Baiting
Controversial posts and editorials will be part of SEO campaigns for link bait (Not like this one).

Those are his good ones in my opinion as otherwise the rest are complete junk (or are not really predictions–SEO conspiracies!?) without some solid reasonings behind them.
