Alan Schaaf, $7 investments, and the future of A.I.

VB Engage - Mobile, Marketing, & Technology Podcast from VentureBeat

This week, we bring you the first VB Engage to have been recorded live on stage! That's right: At Web Summit in Lisbon earlier this year, we got to interview Alan Schaaf of internet phenomenon Imgur about the evolution of the company, geek culture, community, and what it takes to create a success from seemingly meagre beginnings.

In the news segment, Travis quizzes Stewart about his trip to Helsinki -- where he spoke at Nexterday North and Slush -- and discovers what he learned about the near future, artificial intelligence, mobile marketing, and where technology is taking us next.
