The Hype is Dead. Long live the Hype.
Posted in FreeTime, General on July 2nd, 2009 by asjsSo, you hear a lot less about cloud computing these days and a lot more about “the Real Time Internet.” In a move that should surprise exactly no one, hype factory TechCrunch is going to be hosting an event about the implications of Real Time. I expect to see more of these events, seminars, and camps from the usual suspects over the coming months.
Find out more about the TechCrunch event here!
Rest assured that Graphient will not be changing its business model or the specs of FreeTime to meet this new challenge head on. Like the Cloud, Real Time is an important concept to keep in mind as technology evolves in front of us. Filtered streams of data are exciting and in many ways important to the work we are doing at Graphient. But true Real Time is still a long way off and the oncoming hype spasm will likely muddy the waters in many ways. Much like it did for Cloud Computing.
