analyzing the business and technology of the web
Immediately after I posted about the Meebo Bar I decided to check out Google’s Real Time Search to gauge other people’s opinion of this new product from Meebo.
And I saw this…
This should relay the power of real time search and the importance of maintaining content outposts…
Meanwhile, Google Reader has yet to show any results…
UPDATE: Google Reader caught up between 7-1o minutes later…

Diigo Learning Networks is a new feature in the latest release that is very much like FriendFeed. It’s basically a real-time stream of content that your network is tagging in Diigo. Beyond that you have similar features such as like, preview, and comment.

A couple weeks ago I shared how Google Reader changed how I consume information again.
Now that consumption is happening in real-time thanks to PubSubHubbub.
Louis Gray says “PubSubHubbub Hits the Gas On My Google Reader Link Blog“. That’s good for all of us who use Google Reader as an information filter – which Louis realizes:
“As I’ve discussed before, I share what I do on Google Reader because I know there are a good number of people connected who rely on me to be an information filter.”
Now I get human filtered information and news in real time from Google Reader and FriendFeed.

For the last couple weeks I have been live blogging here – but not in the traditional sense of being at an event and blogging about it in real time. I am talking about blogging in real time – writing, discussion, comments, everything. Let’s call it Real-Time Blogging so as not to get confused.
Why? Aside from real-time being the craze, live blogging in this manner creates a discussion around a topic rather than just writing something and leaving it for the Google robot and the long tail. I am an avid comment replier – If you comment on this blog you are likely to get a response within an hour, unless its the middle of the night. By blogging in real time I am able to re-purpose those comments into my post – making it that much better. I like to create conversations and discussions, not blog posts. I don’t want to write about something, I want to discuss topics to solve problems and develop new ideas. This method of real time blogging facilitates that.
