Kleiner’s Bing Gordon: Social Web due for shake-up, old media will “eat their young” | VentureBeat

Kleiner Perkin’s has acknowledged the social web revolution by putting together a new fund to go after new investments.

This is like Goldilocks and the Three Bears: they waited until it was ‘just’ right — not too cold or too hot. And they may in fact make some awesome investments. But this is not groundbreaking.

One things this does, perhaps, is to confirm that social is the fuel making the web revolution go zoom, not ‘internet data’ or ‘the web as OS’ or ‘the semantic web’ or any and all of the other technological mumbo-jumbo being spouted by various internet gurus.
