The real-time web is this year's true revolution. The meteoric success of Twitter has ushered in the age of immediacy and promises to send shockwaves through society and the economy.
In light of the growth of the Facebook and Twitter ecosystem and the new ways in which mobile phones are being used, start-up companies and major enterprises alike are gearing their services towards this new environment and the new ways of consuming content, such as applications, games, news, reading, services and leisure.
