Pas la peine d’en faire des caisses sur LeWeb10 (le premier qui utilise les mots « grand messe française du web » je lui casse la gueule) qui pourrit vos Timeline chaque année à la même date, c’est tout le temps la même chose : des aigris qui n’ont pas eu d’accred presse, des aigris qui n’ont pas 1500€ à débourser et des aigris qui y sont mais qui se font chier.

#AngryLoic at #LeWeb

Il reste le buffet, le café #nespresso à volonté et autres viennoiseries. Le principe : écouter des intervenants trop cool comme les CEO de bullshitcompany ou le bullshitsocialmanager de la même entreprise, avec parfois des types de chez Google, Foursquare, Twitter que le couple Lemeur (les David et Cathy Guetta du web) doivent payer bien cher pour faire venir.

“Sure, we’ll always have Web pages. We still have postcards and telegrams, don’t we?” Said Kevin Kelly and Gary Wolf. They were wrong, of course. The browser is still the killer app of killer apps. Fast forward to today and Wired is once again saying the browser is dead. And about that 1997 article: They weren’t wrong, they were prescient. Wired is still wrong. The new article is based on a foundation of data supplied by Cisco that shows web traffic, as taking a smaller piece of total Internet traffic. The Web Is Dead. Long Live the Internet. Two decades after its birth, the World Wide Web is in decline, as simpler, sleeker services — think apps — are less about the searching and more about the getting.

And Michael Wolff explains why the new breed of media titan is forsaking the Web for more promising (and profitable) pastures. Who’s to Blame: Us As much as we love the open, unfettered Web, we’re abandoning it for simpler, sleeker services that just work. by Chris Anderson You wake up and check your email on your bedside iPad — that’s one app. You’ve spent the day on the Internet — but not on the Web. This is not a trivial distinction. A decade ago, the ascent of the Web browser as the center of the computing world appeared inevitable.

The article is anchored by the startling infographic above, which shows the proportion of different types of traffic on the Internet. The Web, HTML traffic visible though a browser, is only about a quarter (23%) of the overall traffic, down from about half a decade ago.
