Le Web 2009


The annual Le Web conference in Paris is a major point in the calendars of groundbreaking online developers and entrepreneurs. This year's theme was the Real Time Web. Speakers and attendees discussed and debated the ideas that publishing-to-consumer delays of hours or even minutes are no use to a growing number of people. It is proposed that truly instant search access to content is the Next Big Thing.

This has major implications to do with the concept of 'author authority'. In a Real Time Web news scenario, accuracy becomes the key concern; the focus turns from the creator to the content itself. Although this doesn't answer the question of HOW to determine accuracy.

What does Real Time Web mean to you? Have you considered this before?
