Tango has raised $100m in one year!

VoX is way ahead of anything Tango can do and when the ISO is launched the market will get to know this amazing little company. Pay attention to the ENGAGEMENT comments that is where voice & video is going and why it will be so valuable to advertisers.

Tango beats Apple at its own game. It has more users than Facetime because it’s available on 3G. Facetime only works on Wifi connections. And you could say that Tango is the defacto Facetime for Android.

Speaking of Android, in Sarah’s interview with Roger McNamee, the Elevation Partners MD had some strong words for Google regarding their mobile strategy, saying, “They passed on Skype, which had 400 million active users and could’ve been a complete mobile solution for them.”

Now, 45 million users can’t compare to Skype’s hundreds of millions. But if Facebook can buy Instagram’s 20 million users for $1 billion, perhaps Google should be taking a careful look at Tango as a possible acquisition.

GGV Capital Partner Jeff Richards thinks the idea has legs. “One of the reasons that voice and video apps are starting to rise in importance is that page views are no longer what [advertisers] care about,” he explains. “They care about engagement.”
