Joi Ito on Technology's Next Investment Opportunities (some key messages for the content industry)

Joi Ito is a great resource and inspiring thought leader. Here is a great video with 2.6 Minutes of solid wisdoms. The nuggets:

• People now want to pay to express themselves - not just to consume (and yes, this is generational)
• Open, mobile platforms will come, soon, for sure, and will become even more of a key trend, going forward
• Things that help you express, things that are mobile, things that are global, are the key to future success
• We are shifting emphasis from Content to Context; content commerce becomes less 'copy' and copyright-oriented and more personal and timely (Twitter has little content value but lots of context value!)
