David Spark here, reporting for Yammer at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco.
Silicon Valley investor Ron Conway is currently invested in more than 200 active companies including Yammer, Twitter, and Foursquare. I asked Conway if he's looking for communications aggregators or a better solution. His answer was neither. He's just ready for more competition in the communications space. As Conway sees it, crowded is a good thing because consumers will have more options and the best product will rise to the top and win. That's a great proposition for consumers. They get to pick from a wide variety of products to solve their own productivity needs.
