Thanks Yu-kai I really appreciate it!

Yes, there are definitely some missing pieces to streaming puzzle. I just wrote a post on how I see some of this getting addresses by making use of the underlying data to create parallel layers of streams containing increasingly higher order levels of synthesis

Hey Sam! Great post!

Like you said, people these days are completely consumed by real time information, but that becomes distracting. It's like the issue of Urgent vs Important. A lot of things seem urgent, but very few of them are important. People might be able to know what is happening every moment, but many of that information will not become important enough for them to learn about if they missed it as it happens.

Btw, I really like your blog so I submitted it to Viralogy.com. Hopefully more people can discover your blog through it! If you want you can claim your blog at http://www.viralogy.com/ind... to make sure the info is accurate and it helps out your ranking.

Anyway, I hope you have an extraordinary week and take care!

It depends...if you're a trader, any informational advantage is hugely
important. If you're an average joe investor, I'd say there is much
less value

Do you think real time information makes stocks more efficient or more noise?

The inexpensive, easy, always available ability to create, distribute, aggregate and filter is what is driving the real time web; but very, very soon we'll realize that we can't process everything. Judging by the discourse I've seen, we're at that point; but judging by the paucity of applications that do anything meaningful at helping us make better decisions, take better actions, respond faster, better or wiser, we haven't figured out how to do it (or even how to balance out what's important about real time).

But you already know that :)

I'd be interested in an expansion of your thoughts on how real time plays out in the enterprise and it is different from the consumer web...

I believe there is definitely an ROI as better information leads to better decision making. If your decisions can be more informed or made faster than it's a true competitive advantage. For example folks in customer service and lead gen can leverage real time search for competitive advantage now --- most people still don't understand the power of real-time search and thus there is a great arbitrage opportunity

Thanks for the post. Very interesting remark. Really a long tail of information is developing. Of course information is valuable when it arrives in time. But nothing is ideal and there will akways some delays. It is difficul to guess where the true ROI of real-time exists. May be it doesnt exist at all.
