Social mobile web. As tablets are replacing magazines on your coffee table, and smart-phones are replacing portable computers, you need to make sure that your content is able to be viewed, shared, and bought on the new mobile devices.

Through the process, I was struck by just how much marketplaces have evolved since eBay sparked the first wave of product-focused marketplaces in 1995. Mobile unlocks new use cases. Since the launch of Ebay, nothing has had a bigger impact on our buying and social habits than the rise of the mobile phone. The bottom line.

The average venture capital fund raised between 1995 and 1997 returned more than 50% per year. 2010 was a year of firming and climbing out of a hole, but the tepid IPO market and general macroeconomic malaise seemed to linger until late in the year (similar to how 1995 felt).

O’Reilly’s article describes two businesses from his own career at O’Reilly—the Global Network Navigator (GNN) web portal, which he sold to AOL, and the Website web server, which eventually fell by the wayside.

When I decided to leave my mobile data start-up in 2013, I remembered my mortgage experience from 2010, and found that nothing had changed – the model was broken, antiquated and inefficient. We had been developing the company’s product for a while, but we needed to find a name in 1995 to incorporate the company. Thanks to Collin J.
