Settlers chasing new opportunities
Metaphorically speaking the Real Time Web is for settlers chasing new opportunities. We use this image to describe who we are here for and what we believe to be their shared mindset.
To begin with the Real Time Web is an idea and a potential. But there is more, it is proven technology, that through increasing application will evolve into a new technological universe and even multiply. It means that the first ones to populate this early universe creatively, can be seen as settlers.
"We identify settlers as someone willing to take personal risk to achieve a greater good, or to think outside the box, to gain an advantage. They see opportunities in being a first mover, to position themselves in a future they are eager to turn into reality."

We identify settlers as someone willing to take personal risk to achieve a greater good, or to think outside the box, to gain an advantage. They see opportunities in being a first mover, to position themselves in a future they are eager to turn into reality. Their motivation can be personal, in the sense they wish to create something for themselves. Or it can be social or business related, they wish to create value for others.
This could have been the story of the Web itself or for your country. From what we know about the demand in the world today concerning the Internet of Things/Everything and smart/intelligent solutions, we believe the Real Time Web is a candidate for similar development.
"The Real Time Web is a Blue Ocean – an unexplored area with great potential for true innovation."

In business strategy terminology the Real Time Web is a Blue Ocean – an unexplored area with great potential for true innovation. It’s a space where newcomers can challenge and disrupt the current paradigm, and at the same time, an occasion where the establishment can reinvent themselves.
Our ecosystem is available for anyone to use – from the largest corporations to teen innovators, and everything in between. Across categories, we are for the people who wished they were Web pioneers or early publishers in the App Store.
Keeping in mind that we are after entrepreneurial spirits, we describe a few segments that will play important roles in the time ahead:
Developers
Since we are new, developers need to learn about how we can improve their productivity and creativity. No matter the context they work in, they would benefit from understanding the implications of the Real Time Web, both from a technological and a business point of view.
Documentation, performance, a strong community and a long term perspective are important assets to a developer. The Real Time Web may strengthen the position of the developer, inside a company or independently. Developers are important also because they recommend management what tools and methodology to use, to get the job best done.
Partners
"Partner" is a wide term, but it refers to educational institutions, direct customers, consortiums, seminars and consultancies, ready to apply the Real Time Web in their context.
At an early stage we are ready to get others up and running, to supply successful cases and gain valuable experience. Although developers do a lot of the technical work, it is essential that management and whole organizations and authorities, think of Real Time Web as a place to look for solutions and add value.
