There have been businesses that I sit on for such a long time, it's insane. Some times years even pass before they get executed on. I let them marinate, I let them refine. 

And then there's the other side of things: me and Jerome Jarre have dinner, and literally the next day there's a talent agency for Vine stars, Grape Story. 

It really depends on the business and both options have merit. AJ and I thought for ten or eleven months before starting VaynerMedia. Little known fact: before starting VM, we were probably on third base in starting a fantasy sports site. True story. But in the end, VM won out. We marinated and VaynerMedia happened in lieu of everything else. 

Really it comes down to the idea, and it comes down to the timing. I've got ideas that are running through my head right now but I know the timing is bad because I have so much other stuff going on. In fact, timing might be the more important factor. Are you ready? Do you have the time? The biggest failures in my business career have been when I bit off more than I could chew. Think about that. Remember it. Choose your battles.

1:12 - I just bought an indoor billboard company. How do you feel about advertising in the bathroom?
2:46 - If Apple could build a car, could Mercedes build a smartphone?
4:52 - We are an improv comedy group that performs both at home in NYC and throughout the country. How do we use social media to get input about each town we'll be performing in ahead of time so that we can create unforgettable shows full of in-the-know references?
5:40 - I posted a video that in one day got 2700 views and 35 shares. Took one year to get the same # of views on YouTube. Should I focus on creating videos for Facebook only?
6:55 - In the quickly-evolving and shapeshifting landscape of the new, digital music industry, where all music is mind-bogglingly easy to download for free, it has never been more important for us artists to change up the way we approach marketing ourselves since music itself isn't creating income anymore. What advice would Gary Vaynerchuk have for musicians wanting to make their living playing music in the 21st century?

I think I love ads in the bathroom. People think I hate all traditional media, that I'm all about social. But don't forget I've spewed about how I think Super Bowl ads are underpriced. The truth is I just care about the attention graph. Show me where the eyes and ears are, and I'll show you something I believe in.

I believe that when I go pee-pee, and I see a sign right down there in front of me, there's a little bit of an issue: we are all taking out our phones now. I did a survey of my staff and everyone says they do it. So, the value of urinal signs and bathroom stall ads has certainly gone down. But do I think that there is still value because people will absolutely notice it. They are better than other outdoor mediums.

BUT the vulnerability to these types of ads, which I am fan of, is phone culture. I didn't look at my phone while I was peeing three years ago. But now I do.

Periscope: https://twitter.com/periscopeco

Peer to peer live interactions are clearly here, and on the rise. Snapchat dabbled in it with their new chat function that launched about a year ago. Now Meerkat has been getting a lot of press around their new product.

However, if I were Meerkat, I would be very worried right now.

Twitter’s recent acquisition of the company Periscope (which is still just in beta testing) is not the best news for them. If it functions the same as Meerkat, which it is rumored to, they will have an advantage over Meerkat that will be very tough to overcome. The advantage? Native in feed. Because Periscope will be owned by Twitter, the seamless transition between the apps is inevitable, and we will probably see embedded images, and maybe even the ability to watch live streams in feed. As of right now, Meerkat pushes a tweet out on your behalf that is nothing but text and a short link. Not super eye catching in the feed, nor is it very user friendly.

Integration between platforms is key; it’s one reason Vine was able to take off so quickly. Users want an easy, friendly experience that allows them to interact with all platforms equally. But platforms don’t always play nice. You may notice that when you push an Instagram photo to Twitter, it appears merely as a link, no visual whatsoever. However, Vine transitions with no problem. This is the upper hand that Periscope will have.

So I would be concerned for Meerkat. Absolutely. But truly, we’ll have to wait and see how this pans out. If it’s a fast move by Twitter to integrate, it could be bad. But maybe not. When Facebook launched check-ins, everyone said Foursquare was dead. That didn’t happen. Both have survived and evolved.

But Meerkat is built on top of Twitter, from the sign in to the push outs. It relies on Twitter for all the aspects of its platform, except for the actual streaming part, which happens in app. So it is bound to be a different situation than Facebook and Foursquare, which were separate entities entirely to begin with. And I’ll be watching to see what happens. I absolutely plan on using Periscope so I can compare it to Meerkat. I see a scenario where this is detrimental to Meerkat, but I also see a scenario where Twitter tries to see if both can survive.
