Nice interview with Fred Wilson who is probably the best Social Media investor out there and a pretty strong thinker overall. He's been in the space earlier then most anyone and been persistent and patient which venture investors need. It's a wide ranging interview where he talks about everything from stock picks to his investments in Twitter and Zynga as well as some of his best/worst deals.
It's a very long interview and the good parts start in the last 20 minutes or so. The best parts are when Fred talks about montetization at Twitter which is something I am sure they never talk about (sarcasm if you couldn't tell). If Fred got offers for anything north of 800 million I hope he takes it and runs. It's not that I don't believe in Twitter btw.
The interesting part is where he talks about some sort of connected ecosystem with Twitter and Facebook updates all connected and people building their updates on top of that. Sort of an interesting forecast of how things will unfold.
He also says Zynga is his best investment which I am not sure I understand the logic of. I like Zynga a lot too, although it might have something to do with Zynga doing a round right now. He uses his blog and these interviews to help his investments...just a smart guy.
