Nobody surfs the web anymore

Here’s quite an interesting article about how no-one seems to surf anymore. It’s picking up on a talk Steve Rosenbaum gave at Confab 2011. Essentially the argument is because of the sheer volume of data being created, we can only handle pre-curated now, such as RSS feeds, Twitter timelines etc. Not sure I agree as I like to think I ‘surf’ as part of research for my job. I’m not saying I don’t use RSS feeds or other forms of curated data but they’re just part of the sources that I look at. Anyways, read the links and make your own mind up.
