Microsoft's Don Dodge Picks Scanbuy As A Company To Watch In 2007

When Microsoft identifies a physical world connection player, as a company to watch in a multi billion dollar opportunity, that can only mean good things for this space.

Don Dodge, Director of Business Development for Microsoft's Emerging Business Team has put together his list of 2007 Predictions for Web and Software on his blog called "The Next Big Thing"

He considers "Mobile Web" as one of the top 5 hot areas and under "Mobile Search", a multi billion dollar opportunity, Don suggests ScanBuy as a company to watch.

Scanbuy just recently completed a $9m raise from Longworth. Masthead and Hudson.

It doesn't hurt that they have the previous CEO of barnesandnoble.com steering the ship either.

Microsoft is recognizing the potential for Scanbuy's applications but is Google already looking at Scanbuy?

I will be posting my physical world connection predictions for 2007 shortly.
