What Comes Next For the Web?

We are on the cusp of a massive shift that will force us to rethink the very nature of the Internet and how it pertains to information. These changes means we will be in uncharted territories — the NewNet.

The discussion will be led by Om Malik and feature Caterina Fake (Hunch), Tom Coates (Yahoo), Bret Taylor (Facebook, FriendFeed), Jeffrey Veen (TypeKit), and other major players from Silicon Valley, Check back here, and you’ll also get access to our exclusive liveblog and post-event interviews.
Some of the topics that will be discussed are:

1. How social graph will provide context to the information that courses through the web
2. Why we need a “push web” and what related technologies we’ll need
3. Whether activity streams are the best way to deal with information overload
4. What role location will play in creating personalized content-consumption experiences
5. How user-experience needs have changed in this new, data-rich world
