2012 is going to be a year of contrasts – of consolidation of power for the Internet Big Five , and fragmentation and disruption of that power due to both startups as well as government and consumer action. I’ve spent the past few weeks jotting down thoughts for 2012, and hope to do the Year That Is About To Be justice in the following set of posts. And this will become a major part of Twitter’s work in 2012; work that, to my point, is the work of a media company.

By some Mayan accounts, 2012 is not going to be a good year for any of us. It all adds up to a massive challenge that I think will come to a head in 2012. In short, it will be a massive challenge to manage this business to scale and succcess in 2012. Or GoogleTV (and by some extension, YouTube): Probably the poster child for “not market ready,” GoogleTV now has very high expectations for 2012, thanks to Chairman Schmidt’s recent comments.

I think 2012 is the year we all start to question the role corporations can and should play in our society, and doing so won’t (or shouldn’t) be seen as an indication of some leftist or political agenda, but rather as a reasonable outgrowth of how a thinking person sorts through the solution of some of our most pressing problems. But I’m not arguing it will in 2012. Related: Predictions 2012: #1 – On Twitter and Media.

Waaaay back in January, I rolled out my annual predictions. Thanks to our pals at Facebook, a few of them are now pretty much in the bag. I may have to start doing these things monthly, given the pace of our industry. Prediction #5 was that it’d be a big year for Internet M&A. I further singled out Instagram as a company that would likely be bought, and figured there’d be a battle between Twitter, Apple, Facebook, and Google for the prize.

And 2012 will be the year this becomes readily apparent. In short: In 2012, every Big Five Internet company will need to have a clear Twitter strategy. It’ll do more with Twitter in 2012, to be sure. In 2012, every Big Five player is going to have to reckon (again) with Twitter. I’m predicting 2012 is the year Google and Facebook come around and work with Twitter in some new, significant way, as will Amazon.
