Any IO tickets for 2010?

Apps like these, which rely on upcoming Specs (HTML5, the new XMPP based Wave protocol, CSS3 tomorrow etc) first of all make desktop apps look irrelevant.

From a business perspective, Microsoft’s outlook could become irrelevant. Then, MS office can become irrelevant as one starts to build realtime collabative editing supported Docs apps.
Browsers which support latest specs will take over. Microsoft IE will be forced to implement them or just go into oblivion…

Loosely put, the ultimate stategy is to replace desktop computing with “WebTop” computing.

But, once again.. thanks a bunch !!

weeeeeeeeeak.

really could’ve used that free Android phone to hack on.

If what I discuss above in place, users can create their groups on realtime.youtube.com and post/upload/stream their videos their.

It means that users are doing both real-time twitter & facebook activities at the same time. The difference is that at a higher level with real-time videos.

For examples, 2 friends in the same group can stream 2 real-time videos to the group and by that way, they actually can do “social” activities with each other even they are currently thousands of miles apart: real-time and interactive! Not only both of them can see all these interactive videos, all other users can see their videos, sharing the social activities.

People will really love it: for examples, 2 children of the same family are attending different graduation ceremonies at the same time: all the friends, relatives, etc. can share their joy.

Google can limit users to upload/stream a video of 140 seconds (over 2 minutes) to create the conception of real-time (short and instant)

With newly-added feature for Android: upload video to youtube (other phones very soon), Google easily creates a new site realtime.youtube.com and let all Android/other smartphone users upload their videos to the site.

Google can limit the text send along with the video within 140 characters as Twitter does, creating a conception of being short and real time. The author of the video can add a longer text file to attach with the video later. The initial text of 140 characters can be used like a title.

It is even better if Google let users directly stream the video from their phone to Google youtube, i.e. NOT making the video and then upload. This likes using the phone as a camera to capture the real time video and transfer the real-time video directly to youtube, like a reporter’s reporting news in real time.

If Google can offer this, it’s huge. Not only this can be used as an interactive multimedia format twitter-like users, but potentially become a serious news-report format for all amateur/professional reporters.

I believe twitter would offer video-twitter very soon. So the sooner Google offers this, the better to capture the market.

When the 4th generation wireless technology (Wimax/LTE) is available & popular, this potentially becomes a huge environment for real-time news reporting.

& Google suddenly has a vast environment to get real-time news, can AP, AFP, etc. match that? and a vast environment for ads.

The hawker can be right all the time, because their message is selling the message/the show/the media. That doesn’t necessarily make them a part of the conversation, or endear them to the conversation. That isolation is part of the hawker’s drama, it disconnects the message being conveyed, and shifts the focus to personality.

Holding meaning close and keeping it relevant is not just about opinion. Shaping opinion or the faddish Meme/buzz word/talking point/sound bite/topic-of-the-day is Political Drama. The real time relevancy is not just a binary switch set to tell you all the things you want to hear, like a private yesman, nor is it just the filtered elephant talk you want me to pay attention to as though it were full of profound meaning.

It is not the data holding meaning. It is not just what you say, it is how you say it. Old media deadlines getting the story out to the hawker, commoditize words, drawing on their mediocrity. That routine grinds the fine details off the story, and what is lost is the humanity. Putting teeth on a story or spinning it is again a matter of politics. That may have relevancy, it may not. We would have to discuss it, shake the grind dust off it, sharpen it back up, working it in commonality, by attributing meaning.

It is us as humanity taking the time to invest not in the mediocre impulsive immediacy, but the commonality. The word “mean” root of “meaning” is a math equation too, which if we allow the the reduction to the limited average alone we once again will have embraced the mediocrity. The middle the commonality does not have to eliminate all differences. Compromises have two edges. They can cut one way or another, in favor of one or another. As well they can cut both ways with the point thrusting with the mean brutality that only ends in isolation.

I believe the relevancy of compromise to Real Time strategies is understanding. While the blunt end of a stick can create a different understanding than the pointy end, those understandings are yet different than the understanding of differences not in opposition or competition to the commonality, but the contextual relevancy shaping the meeting of conversation and dialog.

Irresistible force meets immovable object. The classic paradox. Persuasion meets judgment, grock meets the 40 second live delay, Pretense meets Real Time.

If Real Time existed Steve what would we do with the fantasies of our ideals? Would we dream anymore? Where would time be marching toward? …just ticking into the future? Real Time should be as scary as a perfect circle, an infinite loop. The differences are as important as the commonality, as the commonalities are as important as the differences. Time is an irrational reference point to stop us from getting motion sickness: Time is a Dramamine.

What is that thing that has changed from where we were when we began and where we are now? What transpires across the distances that differentiates you and I or says Yes we hold this place in common? Is real time a pseudonym for the quest to a deeper meaning in peace for it’s own sake, not as the aftermath or in the midst of chaos? How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center? To ask the owl is to question Athena, to bring wisdom to the city state.

Maybe I’m being too literal in finding the solution presented in the question, but what if Google bought Bill Mahr’s HBO Show for the title, and that would be their Real Time strategy. They would show android cell phone videos, and take calls about google services between ads. Real Time as a showcase for the wondrous corporate culture that is google.

Google is a 24/7 operation, I don’t know how much more real time you can get. They have crawled your web site handled your search, delivered you ads, put a phone in your hands and an OS on phones. Google provides Cloud services for Billions of activity hours, and is wanting to provide the routing of those activity hours through it’s development with OpenSocial.

By it’s diversity, Google has seen your fleeting TWeeTs, and raised you with an African Parrot. (Birds and Poker- eh) An African Parrot has a vocabulary that not only can chirp, tweet and whistle, it can do it in the languages of other species. The strategy is not relying on the one card turning up to make your bets pay off, as if the whole story is how/when will Twitter monetize it’s shimmering brilliance. The Real Time Strategy is staying at the table, or hell, owning the table/the house and running multiple games.

Steve There are all kinds of tools we pick up and put down. And buggy whips are still used very infrequently today. But Steve, just because you haven’t used an RSS reader like you used to do it doesn’t make RSS dead.

That’s my take on it.

In doing so, Google can aggregate real-time data from Twitter, FriendFeed, blog comments, etc. The challenge will be aggregating data from Facebook, which has been a very closed system in the past (and it has failed to date work with Facebook for their OpenSocial\FriendConnect\or iGoogle initializes). Without Facebook, the Google real-time strategy could result in a dichotomy, as has happened with the Facebook platform vs. the OpenSocial platform.
