Mary Meeker
- the Managing Director of Morgan Stanley's global technology research
team - took the Web2.0 audience
on a fast-paced, energetic
walk through her view of Internet
Trends this morning. Wow. I didn't think I could
meet someone who talks faster than Bryan but Mary can
certainly give him a run for his money. I type almost as fast as
she talks but it turns out that I didn't need to - Mary's Internet
Trends preso is available online - found via the Morgan
Stanley TechResearch page. Rich Sharples is
also in San Francisco today and blogged his thoughts on Meeker's
eBay/Skype discussion here.
Mary and team at Morgan Stanley are bullish about the opportunities
(and the potential dislocations) in the internet and mobile internet
technology areas. And ... Mary provided a healthy reminder that
the mobile internet business is dramatically different outside the
US. Here's an area where those of us who fly the star spangled
banner are way way behind. Bottom line - if you're interested in
tech and you're interested in trends - check out Mary's
slides.
