Next Wave with Gary Vaynerchuk: 2012 predictions

[TheChiraagG]

It's funny, though I have been saying the same about RIM and a few of those who have left BlackBerry to go elsewhere been switching back to it. It's a messaging tool some can't let go. I guess the switch from iPhone back to BlackBerry is a strange one for many of us. By the way, if you are Android coming from BlackBerry my article "From CrackBerry addiction to Android: My Transition" on Android Authority, explains about SwiftKey - use it if you are having trouble going to touch screen from BB.

Liked that-thanks Gary xxx

As always, Gary, great content. You're right about people not caring about the device. I started my Jim's Jems newsletter on paper in 1991. I'm still here. Could care less about devices. It's communication we're doing, not selling widgets. Going to work now on my personal development box:-)

BTW, the cut away camera is distracting. You either need someone to direct you to look to it or just lose it altogether. NIce tie though:-)

Also, I agree on Pinterest, but they need to invest in their infrastructure. The site bogs way too often.

The music is a bit too loud in the background. Hard to concentrate on the message.

Gary,

Assuming you're going to tell us if any of these folks are paying you to talk them up?

Transparency is key.

Since you critiqued wine as a retailer, are you getting paid to critique media platforms by media companies?

I ask because you make it sound as if RIM cannot move beyond Blackberry. They're a huge company that can come out with newer, more relevant models of the Blackberry.

So for you to announce their doom and gloom seems naive at best.

[GaryVaynerchuk]

@winewanker I would always mention if I am paid to talk up and publicly always come out with my investments, I am not involved in Pinterest, 4S or RIM and I just think RIM is in trouble

[TheLeaderGuy]

I predict that only 50% of the protections have a 60% accuracy to happen in 2012.

[GaryVaynerchuk]

@TheLeaderGuy HAHAHAH!

[MrCjhallock]

Right, but what app should we download?? What is GaryVee's top 10 most used iPhone apps?

[magoreilly]

Always interesting to hear what Gary has to say. If RIM really goes down in smoke this year I`ll be sad..*sniff *sniff...their Canadian.

[72gibson]

Solid predictions...

[RCSuperPowers]

Pay attention "peeps"

[andenils]

Did you make money on Gowalla Gary?

[GaryVaynerchuk]

@andenils i didnt It got converted to Facebook stock, so I think I will but not yet

[WombatBitch]

Did you get that suit at Karako?

[GaryVaynerchuk]

@WombatBitch LOL no idea

[tcbobo88]

I think Gary is spot-on with his predictions except for foursquare. I've used it, yet in the end, really don't care about it. It's a throwaway product, IMHO.

[mrfamoustony]

And that's the bottom line because Garyvee said so

[TheBEERSgoneBAD]

Pinerest has been a big discussion point at my home lately. All the girls love it.

[dusanmal]

Twitter - 75% chance of IPO, likely.

FB/Instagram - 50-50. 75% chance that someone will get them, not FB for certain.

RIM -RIP 100%. Since the moment in 2011 when their stock broke down from upswing due to RIM tablet fail. They'll admit it in 2012.

Pinterest -Meh. 50-50. Nothing there.

Foursquare - No. Forever niche. 100% no.

Boxes - you may be onto something, 90%.

[Jonesima]

great video, right on Gary, right on.  Watch the daily app?

[ThisJustZen]

Where'd you get that suit? Shoppers Discount Swagga? Happy 0-Twelve, Gary!

[Classiclegacy]

Very good info and predictions. I especially agree with the pinterest prediction. I love this application and think it is not only fun on a personal level but can see many uses for businesses as well. I also like your suit!.......and no profanity! GOOD JOB.

[permeister]

Great predictions and it will be intersting to see which ones are right. It will be huge news for businesses if RIM goes down with the established network. Though I see them getting out of hardware and ramping up their enterprise network.

[royalcityrob]

Spot on with RIM Mr. V

[MrDrewLarison]

Look at that suit!

[mattmcginley11]

completely disagree on foursquare... just sayin

[Hospitalityfan]

Appreciate your insights being shared...always refreshing to hear from an expert who is actually doing it for his own business! If I can ever be of help in some way, please let me know. btw - nice photo on twitter of your daughter with the bagel. Nothing like NY bagels. Nothing! Have a blessed New Year!

[Wolfga]

RIM kinda went from a $37 Billion company to a $7 Billion company from 2010 to 2011... Yeah, they're done.

[JeremyBergeronTV]

no comment on G+?! wow..

[DahavaDesign]

Blackberry users watch out! But don't say Gary V didn't warn ya!

[kens6161]

I agree with you on RIM, man! They just don't get it!

[MrRobsearch]

nice sut!:) and great predictions, but what about G+?

[weswyatt]

Great info as usual Gary!

[mario00zg00]
