What about the Real Time Web?

This could be an open door for the content business. For instance, currently aggregators have to get their news the old fashioned way, through RSS feeds and news alerts that they retrieve throughout the day. That is not realtime news.  Using The Associated Press as an example, AP could post their stories to a HUB. In realtime, the HUB can update member websites so that they will always have information first, before any aggregator.   It may not take long for aggregators to recognize the new data on the member sites, but they won’t have it first.

The Internet is about to change

I never got everyone's obsession with being the "first" to receive news. With the current incarnations of the real time web only being able to provide raw, barely digestible, incoherent information at best; it's almost always better to wait for a credible news agency to aggregate and process everything into something more palatable and useful before being consumed.

    I think there is a misunderstanding : the goal of the real-time web is not for you to be the “first” to know, but to allow flowing communication from service to service. Pleease take the time to read that : http://blog.superfeedr.com/Atom/Feeds/Push/RSS/Techcrunch/speeding-up-rss/
