Is it time for Mary Meeker's internet trends report already? Yes it is, and this year's analysis is full of telling charts and statistics. Ina Fried identifies the major takeaways from this year's report:
- The internet itself is seeing slowing growth.
- In five years, at least 50 percent of all searches are going to be either images or speech.
- Messaging apps, with context and time, have a chance to rival the home screen as the go-to place for interaction.
This list would explain why Facebook is attempting to force me to use its messaging app on Android (instead of my web browser, which can be turned off). More: a short video where Meeker says many online ads are ineffective. Also, interviews and much more from the Recode conference.
