"And just as the Web once emerged on top of the Internet, now something new is emerging on top of the Web: I call this the Stream. The Stream is what the Web is thinking and doing, right now.

Wondering how virtual worlds such as Second Life fit into this. As it is explained in the article, the web is not the internet, it developed on top of it.

"I think for an IT entrepreneur the sooner he/she goes in the Valley the better it is, because you learn so much there. Of course you'll need to have something to present to get valuable feedback.
