More From the Now Web: The Blog Post That Keeps Giving
I agree completely that the Now Web represents a fundamental shift in network dynamics from the (relatively) static page-based web, and that opens an opportunity to replace the legacy infrastructure that is incapable of extracting the full value from the Now Web.
And while I also agree that the public Twitter stream is an effective proxy for the public Now Web, I wonder about the vast majority of share/communications-based content being created in the Deep Now Web (i.e. behind the walled gardens of Facebook or email providers). I think the most valuable Now Web content is definitely being produced out in the open (and that privacy wall acts as something of a self-selection mechanism that raises the average quality of the public content), but it’s important to keep in mind that it represents a miniscule percentage of the overall content and traffic being generated by the Now Web as a whole.
