Mary Meeker, the former Morgan Stanley analyst and current Kleiner Perkins investor, has built a personal franchise around her annual Internet trends report. She delivered her latest at the Code Conference this morning.
Meeker and her team have a knack for pulling together data that speaks to both the specificity of what’s happening right now and how it fits into the larger context of the past and present.
This time around, Kleiner Perkins built a site for the reports, which date back to 2001, available here.
On the docket for 2014:
- Updates on Internet and mobile usage, combined with Meeker’s optimism about online advertising opportunities.
- Some public-valuation commentary — Meeker thinks things in tech are not as bubblicious now as they’ve been in the past.
- Observations about the opportunities to analyze data brought in by sensors.
- Numbers about the shift to TV watching that’s more social, personalized and on-demand.
- China trends.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.
That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
