Hustlevision: The Business of Social Networks

Just watched this episode of Charlie Rose with Guest Marc Anderseen (Founder of Netscape, Co-founder of Ning/ Board member of Facebook/Investor in Twitter *read: internet BALLER*) Their conversation brings up a lot of things we should be thinking about right now.
