Om Malik’s 3 Macro Trends Transforming the Web
Om Malik highlights 3 big trends that are transforming the web experience.
- The web is transitioning from mere interactivity to a more dynamic, real-time web where read-write functions are heading towards balanced synchronicity. The real-time web, as I have argued in the past, is the next logical step in the Internet’s evolution.
- The complete disaggregation of the web in parallel with the slow decline of the destination web.
- More and more people are publishing more and more “social objects” and sharing them online. That data deluge is creating a new kind of search opportunity.

I think Om is over thinking “the slow decline of the destination web.” True, twitter and RSS are creating a move away from “place” on the web. But I think as experience, customization, and community expand ahead any decline of the destination web will be catapulted ahead three fold.
Congrats on the move!

@Nathan – thanks for your comment! I agree with you on the community aspect of the web, and I think the the erosion of destination is more for content portals than social/community sites.
