I came accros 3 good articles this week-end.
First one called "De-Portalization" and coming from Avc. For a full explaination of the term see the edegio post. To make it quick it's about the changes of Internet landscape with a total amount of traffic shifting from main domain to a larger bunch of small spaces.... in a way it's about the Long Tail of traffic (no real news, but a new term /still not coined/ and a nice illustration).
Second a post by Nicholas Carr (dam this man is so good!) titled "Lost in the shitstream". the post is very interesting especially if you take time reading the comments. Nicholas is just worried with the popularity ranking of things... he worries that shitty UGC will take the bulk of attention. It's a sequel of his post about packaging (see my previous post Intermediation is king)
Last: Faster Horses and the Fog of 2.0 from Scott Karp [personal note should digg hsi blog// 3 reco from my A-list thks snark] and i will keep the famous quote found at the end of the post from H.Ford :
“If I had asked my customers what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse.”
