“Swarm technologies thrive on the extended efficiency of social properties”

i have no idea what you are talking about…

“Likes or retweets accelerate the swarm further with additive or iterative influence. ” ” ???
help !
can someone get me a universal translator?

Please stop using your stream of consciousness lingo and start using plain english… I like reading tech-crunch but this is too much

thanks

The -entire- point of podcasting was its time-shifted nature, vs the old and outmoded model of broadcast. Outmoded because the concent distribution model the internet allows allows for far greater flexibility than the old way. A better experience for both the listener and the content producer. To think that real-time, while important, suplants time-shifting is missing taking a step back. On a more personal note, I find it amazingly regrettable to loose the Gilmore gang in this way, which appears to be case. Rare will be the time I can catch the show live, and I am sure I speak for many not in the US

Pattern recognition requires precedence. The value of real-time is tightly coupled to antecedence.

I agree with, Karoli.

Anytime > Realtime!

Twitter is the means by which one can reach a variety of ends. I hear nobody discussing why it is that the real-time web is emerging. If you’re interested in discussing please feel free to follow me on twitter…postjockey. I’ll give a heads-up when about to do a live show covering this very topic. See you there!

I take issue with the idea of podcasts transforming into real time. Like the relationship of twitter and blogs, where twitter is real-time and blogs become an archive, there is a place for recordings of podcasts. Just tonight I referred someone to a newsgang podcast.

Archives matter. History is built on archives. History matters. So real time may be how we live moment to moment, but reflection happens in the review of the archive. Don’t think one supplants the other.

As I Tweeted – The link to this post came through in my RSS stream first. I was halfway through reading when your (Steve) Tweet appeared. Realtime seems to equal RSS at this point :-)
