The three current big megatrends in the web/tech sector are mobile, social, and real-time.
I like to think of this as the golden triangle. You can build interesting businesses in each of these three sectors. The iPhone is the poster child of mobile. Facebook is the poster child of social. Twitter is the poster child of real-time.
But it is what happens inside the golden triangle that is really interesting to me. What if you build a service that is mobile, social, and real-time? Well that’s a big opportunity folks and I’ve been seeing quite a few entrepreneurs doing exactly that. It is an exciting time.

Seems like Fred essentially described Foursquare? It’s clearly a real-time, mobile application that encourages social interactions to occur face-to-face. (And, sure, the Twitter and Facebook hooks help extend the interaction/fellowship with others as well.)
