This is a speech I gave at MIT Sloans MediaTech and MoMIT Executive Lunch Series on November 9th, 2008.
It covers the convergence of digital and social media on mobile platforms, gives an overview of popular social media platforms and their move onto mobile, highlights three app stores- Apple, Android, and BlackBerry, and highlights four companies doing innovative things in social media and mobile- WiseWindow (Orange County, CA), Localytics (Cambridge, MA), Hancock Energy Software (Framingham, MA), and TrustedOnes (Boston, MA).
It wraps with advice on seeking funding since many in the MIT Sloan audience are interested in entrepreneurial activities going forward.
