That’s what we are betting on for SiftSocial.com. :)

The pocket books are closing for the Daily Deal industry unless you are a start-up that will improve visual engagement in the local social mobile market. With Twitter buying Summify, you will also see more companies that “go local” scale with the right combination of engagement tools that help capture visual social commerce.

What I look forward to seeing in 2012 is how quick a new start-up can go main stream. What a wonderful time to be an entrepreneur in technology. There are a lot of great mentors out there now to help new start-ups scale faster than ever before.

How many of previous year’s investments payed off and how much?
