The Chris Sherman Rule: Virtual Worlds are Next

Vwfallmast Chris Sherman (bio here) is someone I have interacted with for 10+ years across digital media.  Starting with Multimedia Wire, followed by UGO, and multiple other mobile, music and conference companies, my personal rule of thumb is that if Chris Sherman is involved in the new sector in some way, then we're 1-2 years away from it being a mainstream phenomenon. 

It doesn't always mean that Chris knocks it out of the park personally on each venture - it just means that he's generally right about what's going to be big, just like the first Casual Games conference he hosted 3.5 years ago in Seattle before anyone major paid attention to the category.

So what's Chris promoting these days after selling his Austin game conference company?  - so obviously, I'm pleased with where Meez is located since it means we have 18 months to make it big :)  That is the Chris Sherman rule...
