I caught up with Marc Andreessen in an exclusive interview ahead of his talk at Wired's "Disruptive by Design" conferenceand he's betting big on social and mobile.
He couldn't comment about Facebook and its pending IPO because he's an investor and on the board, but he said that the social approach can be -- and must be -- applied to a range of industries, and that companies that wire social deeply into what they're doing are better protected from disruption.
Andreessen tells me that now he's particularly interested in social commerce, saying he's very excited about Pinterest in particular. That gives a hint at that sharing startup's future business model.
