• “It’s a browser-based chat-room that streams music based on the choices of a rotating cast of DJs drawn from whoever is in the room. There are up tofive DJs at any one time who create playlists; the station cycles through theplaylists one song at a time, moving from one DJ’s pick to the next, as theroom votes on how “lame” to “awesome” the track is.”

• “You can upload songs or search through the Medianet-powered library to create your playlist when it’s your turn to DJ.”


“I called it the Alive Web, though mostly due to lack of a better way of describing it. It’s a web
that is organic, alive, in real-time and as unpredictable as the people who use it.”
“What’s behind the alive web? Connectedness! With more than a billion
broadband connections and half a billion fast wireless connections, the
Internet of today is a whole lot faster and much easier to access.”

  • An Alive web is an interactive web that can be used simultaneously with other
  • Because this will become more popular and then more people will be spending their
  • time on Google hangouts it will keep our attention away from our phones.
  • This large interaction trend will require more bandwidth to accommodate growth.

Questions:
  1. 1. What is this going to do from a personal engagement standpoint?
  2. 2. Are people going to leave their houses to communicate or just go on Google?
  3. 3. How will this affect future advertizing and marketing trends?
  4. 4. How will this be incorporated into other social media?
