Introduction to the Real-Time Web
Real-time
information delivery is fast emerging as one of the most important
elements of our online experience. This week alone: Google declared real-time search to be one of the biggest unsolved challenges it faces; the NYTimes put a link to a new real-time view of all its news stories on the front page of its site; Facebook announced
a new feature that will let users be notified instantly when their
friends interact with media related to themselves on the site. This is big stuff, but what does it all mean?
We offer a collection of readings on the real-time web. Give these
articles some time and you'll have a solid foundation to understand,
discuss and act on this emerging paradigm.
