Some great predictions (many of which will not come true -- that's just the way it works in the forecasting game!) for the local business space over at Street Fight Magazine in part 1 and part 2.
In part 1, our CEO Randy Parker offered this about new entrants to the VSB space:

One- Stop Shopping for VSBs — Go Daddy (likely 2014 IPO) and Constant Contact already offer suites of services in the fight to be the central marketing provider to very small businesses (VSBs).
In 2014, this market will get more attention, and I predict we see at least two interesting new entrants to this space. One will be a surprise move by a major company currently not thought of in this way (think Amazon, Apple, or Comcast). The other will be one of the social networks (Twitter, Facebook, Google) making a major bet to distinguish themselves as the best friend of small business — with a big move beyond status updates and social network ads.
