NextWeb – The end of the old web
by Mike Butcher
on April 3, 2008


NextWeb coverage: TechCrunch’s Erick Schonfeld opened the Next Web conference posing the question – what happens when you ‘blow up’ with the Web with new models? New models such as the widgetization of the web and de-centralised services which can live in many places across the web just not at home base are changing the ‘old’ web game. Advertising on the web is solidifying, but no-one knows how to make money when the massive disruption happens, and is happening right now. He also said we are seeing companies trying to tap into the market of ides, such as crowd-sourcing, and opening up your site to users, but also attempts to form markets out of ideas.

Here is the live video stream

    What massive disruption?

    This first guy’s using up too much time with dramatic pauses :)

    Mike – I’m on an IE 6 browser at the moment, and the formatting of the home page is screwed up. The image covers most of the text. I’ve noticed this before on other posts but not sure if its browser specific. Will check on my firefox at home, but just thought I’d point it out.

    Anyone else having issues with graphics overlaying on text?

    All geeks use FF.

    Mike, don’t cave in – make them switch and rediscover the web :-)
