The Real-Time Web Is Not Hype: We Are All Traders Now
Hype cycles, like all cycles, are getting shorter. People want to be the first to say, “You heard it here first, folks: this or that hot thing you hear about all the time is a bunch of hot air.”We love to debunk myths and prick bubbles as much as the next set of pundits, but we think the real-time Web is for real. Financial traders have lived in a real-time world for a while, but only within the confines of the trading floor. When they left work, they entered a batch world. Most other people work in a batch world. That is changing. We are all entering the real-time world of the trader. Some of us are getting there faster, but we are all heading there.
And relax, there is an “Off” button!
