REAL-TIME WEB

The microblogging service Twitter has seen a rapid rise in usage and public attention thanks to near-instantaneous alerts and discussions on topics ranging from airline accidents to Iran election protests to the death of Michael Jackson. But Twitter is just one of many services, from Facebook to FriendFeed to a flurry of new search startups that are looking to capitalize on the appeal of real-time information, often tied to social connections. Real-time Web explores how companies like Twitter and Facebook and new technologies like XMPP will alter the Web landscape and present new challenges to established leaders, such as Google.
