Flipboard is an immersive iPad app that combines your Google Reader, Flickr, Twitter and Facebook accounts to create a personalized magazine. Whenever you see or read something you find interesting, it lets you comment on it or share it from within the app.
It's likely that Flipboard will branch out to other mobile platforms and the web. I'm willing to bet you'll hear more about them here in the coming year, they're funded by Kleiner Perkins.

Make the timeline five years, and specify this particular product rather than other products and ideas that the team/company may produce in the future, and I'll take that bet. I'd be absolutely stunned if "an immersive iPad app that combines your Google Reader, Flickr, Twitter and Facebook accounts to create a personalized magazine. Whenever you see or read something you find interesting, it lets you comment on it or share it from within the app" becomes successful beyond a small niche audience. No matter how much money they've raised or who invested in them. Investors, even smart ones, make stupid mistakes all the time (and this may not be a stupid investment if the team is awesome, and flexible enough to evolve their company into producing something of great value).
