Amy Webb presented her very popular session on tech trends before an eager audience of journalists, hoping to find out what the future will bring.
Webb explained how she had asked online what were the big trends for journalists. One of the main choices was mobile. But Webb said mobile was a generic term, just as you would say internet.
She argued that journalists aren’t thinking of technology in a granular way, which makes it hard to work out what is coming next. There is a serious gap between journalists perception of technology and how people are using technology.
The first trend is the real-time web. People now expect to find content as soon as it is out there, said Webb.
Among the tools she highlighted for use by journalists was the browser Flock. It aggregates content from the real-time web from different social media sites, including Twitter.
Samepoint monitors conversations across different sites, such as comments on Facebook, MySpace and more. Socialmention does a similar job but also monitors how people feel about your site or content.
