Comments on: Asynchronous is the new synchronous.

The ingredients to accomplish this goal blend together the best of virtual worlds, social media, and casual games. The walls are crumbling between these categories. Even asynchronous and synchronous communication is blurring. And these categories are taking part in the trend from centralized locations to Web-wide distribution, and mobile “pervasive Internet” distribution.

Even traditional news sites are, without specific 3D-technology, evolving towards virtual communities which have synchronous and asynchronous aspects. Could you elaborate on your closing lines about the designing of online social experiences (the right interactions and technology etc)? Interesting observation!
