The changing dynamics of the web has been something we’ve talked a lot about lately.   The shift toward real time services has impacted the way companies are thinking about the web.  Twitter is currently leading the charge in the real time information and many people think it’s going to become the real time search engine of the web, ousting Google when it comes to real time information and current events.

Techcrunch just wrote a great article on how we’re shifting away from pages and into streams.  I think the article raises a great point that this is a huge opportunity for start-ups to really change the status quo and start developing applications that work in real time.

So, the question I would raise is how can your company shift it’s products toward a real time web?  Think about the big internet brands and what would happen if they had to live in the real time web.  What if companies like Amazon, Ebay, and Google had real time services?  We also know that every time our economy has gone through a shift, new companies and ideas emerge that make us re-think our perception of the web.  In other words, if you’ve got an idea for the real time web, this is your chance to go out and build it.
