Kudos to Dino for pointing us to this presentation by Stowe Boyd at Reboot 9.0 in Copenhagen where he describes the move from a page-based web to a flow-like web. He describes the tools or Flow Media that are encouraging this evolution (Twitter, Facebook, Plazes, MySpace, and Jaiku) as Social Presence Tools.
Dino summarizes:
The transition from a page-based Web to a Web based on the flow of traffic — streams of messages traveling through social networks — is speeding up, based on RSS and the meteoric rise of social presence tools. In order to adapt to this new Web — or perhaps because of it — we will have to adopt a new mindset: to rewire our neurons, and rework our ethics and etiquette to match the flowing world that is emerging. Luckily, it is a better state of consciousness than the one we leave behind.

Hi Piers,
That summary is from the talk itself, it isn’t my summary (sorry be unclear about that, it was formatted that way on the chroma post!).
