I sat down with Rich Wong Sunday, to talk 2010 tech predictions, and reflect on 2009. He helped fund AdMob as well as a raft of interesting companies as one of the venture capitalists at Accel Partners (Accel Partners, incidentally is one of the biggest investors in Facebook and helped sell AdMob to Google earlier this year).
We talked about the real time web, social networking, mobile (Android vs. iPhone), energy, and and what he's seeing happen inside the VC industry.
Other things discussed include browser vs. apps on mobile, content curation, real time search, and the coming identity wars between Facebook/Twitter and Google.
