“One thing you have to realise is that online, we’re all learning. It’s very new. So it will take a lot of time to have reliable data, to really understand how efficient the web can be,” said Mr Fleurot, the CEO of PRCC (Public Relations Corporate Communications) and Publicis Events Worldwide. “You will always need mass media when, for example, you launch a product on a very broad scale. So you know, you have to consider the traditional media as a sort of place where you understand what’s going on, which is safe, and you must think of the web as a place where you are an explorer” — WAN - Advertising Chief: Newspapers Must Learn More About The Web

“Social Search just went live in Google Labs. Google announced that it was working on this Social Search feature at the Web 2.0 Summit last week, but at that time, Google’s Marissa Mayer announced that it would only be available “in a few weeks.” Social Search taps into a user’s social network profiles and displays relevant links and status updates that members of a user’s own social network have shared at the bottom of the default search results page. According to Google, Social Search will enhance the search experience on Google by providing users with more personally relevant search results.” — Google Search Gets Personal: Social Search Launches in Google Labs

* Today’s teenagers are the model of how the web will work in five years - they jump from app to app to app seamlessly.
* Five years is a factor of ten in Moore’s Law, meaning that computers will be capable of far more by that time than they are today.
