Is it Time to Get Real About the Real-time Web? - Podcast

By Dennis Kennedy

Tom Mighell and I have recorded another episode of The Kennedy-Mighell Report podcast and it's now available on the Legal Talk Network and on iTunes. The episode is called "Is it Time to Get Real About the Real-time Web?" (show notes website) and here's the episode description:

Are you suffering from information overload? Soon you could be inundated by instantaneous updates and some are calling the next-generation Internet the ?real-time web.? In this episode, co-hosts Dennis Kennedy and Tom Mighell will take you on a guided tour of this new stage in web evolution and discuss its implications for lawyers and others already overburdened with flow of information.

In the episode, Tom and I take a look at what's starting to be called "reat-time. From Twitter Search to rssCloud to pubsubHubbub," there is a growing movement twoard delivering data on a real-time basis. We offer a primer on the real-time web, survey the developments and talk about ways lawyers might want to use real-time resources. Oh, we definitely see potential, but we have a concern about turning up the pressure in the firehose of information we all seem to try to drink from these days.

We also have a "stuff we've been talking about lately" segment in which we start from Tom's recent post called "SMADD - Social Media Attention Deficit Disorder" and discuss how "self-correctling" the blogosphere and some of recent experiences to track the way information flows across blogs and Twitter.

We'll probably do a question-and-answer segment in the next episode. We welcome your questions.

We end the podcast with our Parting Shots - practical tips you can use right away. I comment on the way that good bloggers occasionally get into the "flow" and post a string of great posts. My recent example is Jim Calloway, who has been posting great things on his blog and in podcasts. Tom pointed to the new podcast, The Paralegal Voice, on which he was a recent guest.

Give our new episode a listen and let me know what you think. Tom already has show notes up.

And try some of the back episodes as well.
