If you want to understand how VCs and other institutional-type investors are thinking about the Web today, you MUST read Meeker's annual "Internet Trends" presentations. There's really nothing else like them. Always chock-full of useful data and insights.

Judge for yourself and look at the past presentations:
2012: http://www.slideshare.net/kleinerperkins/kpcb-internet-trend...
2011: http://www.slideshare.net/kleinerperkins/kpcb-internet-trend...
Kinda low S/N if you ask me, but perhaps helpful to those who consider it helpful.

Helpful for you to know what the investment hive-mind is being told.
This deck isn't what you need to know to build your business. This deck is vital for knowing what potential investors are being told. You need to know what they think the trends are, so you can tailor your pitch to their preconceived notions. Even if their notions are wrong. Especially if they are wrong.

I struggle with this comment - what do you consider a high signal to noise with trend analysis for the next 12 months?
Anything other than the Jan 2014 Time Magazine review of the year edition seems equally low.
Is there any way to subscribe to them? I usually end up seeing them each year, but I'd rather prefer not to rely on serendipity to catch something as interesting as this.
