• The Conversational Marketing Summit Interview
  Fred Wilson in conversation with John Battelle. Fascinating about Twitter and Facebook. Also thinks blogs and blog comments are the other two of the four social media pillars. Key quote: "If you don't want to be a platform then I don't know what else you'd want to aspire to be." Talks of the need for tech innovation in DNA.
