The Virtual Revolution covered by the BBC

The Virtual Revolution refers to the fact that 20-25% of the word’s population is using the web by now, while other 80% are yet either not connected to broadband connections or are just not using it, as Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the web, states. In Afrika for example, people are now getting connected to broadband internet in a wide variety of areas. This means that the digital revolution that has shaped our world as we know it now, will happen in these areas too.

The BBC has started a series called “The Virtual Revolution – How 20 years of the web has reshaped our lives“. The following video represents a great intro to this series:

What will the web look like in five years?

Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google was answering this question in an interesting interview at Gartner Symposium/ITxpo Orlando 2009. ReadWriteWeb has summarized the highlights of Eric’s interview as follows:

Five years from now the internet will be dominated by Chinese-language content.

Today’s teenagers are the model of how the web will work in five years – they jump from app to app to app seamlessly.

Five years is a factor of ten in Moore’s Law, meaning that computers will be capable of far more by that time than they are today.

Within five years there will be broadband well above 100MB in performance – and distribution distinctions between TV, radio and the web will go away.

“We’re starting to make significant money off of Youtube”, content will move towards more video.

“Real time information is just as valuable as all the other information, we want it included in our search results.”

There are many companies beyond Twitter and Facebook doing real time.

“We can index real-time info now – but how do we rank it?”

It’s because of this fundamental shift towards user-generated information that people will listen more to other people than to traditional sources. Learning how to rank that “is the great challenge of the age.” Schmidt believes Google can solve that problem.

Chinese-language content, no differences between distribution channels and real time information are some very interesting topics which I really have to dive in. If you feel interested then have a look at the video of the interview:

Für jeden der schon immer mal das Video zu einem Audiotrack sehen wollte sollte sich einmal www.musicmesh.net ansehen. Dort kann man nach beliebigen Musikern suchen und sich danach ihre Songs anhören. Das coole dabei, es wird automatisch ein Musikvideo auf youtube gesucht und abgespielt! Sehr coole Sache!

Metadaten über Musiker, Tracks, Alben, etc… werden per Audioscrobbler Web Services API von www.last.fm bezogen, passende Videos werden wie gesagt über die API von YouTube gesucht und eingebunden! Auf jeden Fall einen Klick wert!

Soviel zum Thema Meshups!
