A new Internet?
That’s what Om Malik says we are getting. Writing at his site Gigaom, Malik describes what he calls the “NewNet”:
Right in front of our eyes, the web (and by extension, the Internet) is changing — specifically, the rise of social networking and the real-time web are changing the way information on the Internet is created and consumed. Indeed, the ability to disperse information through social platforms and do it using real-time tools is shifting the focus of content from “historical” news to real-time events.
Slowly but surely, the web is being disaggregated, dismembered and at the same time, becoming more interactive. Some call it the Now Web, others are labeling it the Real-Time Web, while still others view it as the Social Web. They all describe components of what we refer to as the NewNet.
