Keen On Yossi Vardi: Why the Next Major Paradigm Shift is Social TV
So, I asked the legendary Israeli investor Yossi Vardi, is the boom in social finished?"Social didnt run out of steam since the birth of civilization, Yossi shot back. We were, appropriately enough, in the very cradle of civilization, in Athens, at Stream, the annual unconference that Yossi and Sir Martin Sorrell jointly host each year. And Yossi, who of course was the original investor in ICQ, was as bullish on social as hes ever been, predicting to me that social television would be the next major "paradigm shift over the next three or four years.Having already achieved three exits from investments with Answers.com, Wibiya and the eBay acquisition The Gifts Project, Yossi is having a super year. Thus, in spite of his hilariously bad Jewish mother jokes and his habit of lying like a Greek goddess on the grass, it is never wise to completely disregard Yossi. So is he right - is social TV the next big thing?Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/naG-49mMwmQ/
