In her talk at the D-Conference today Mary Meeker presented some data showing that mobile now accounts for 8% of e-commerce revenue.
That led us to dig in and look at how mobile revenue is developing at Fab.
In short, it’s growing. Big.

2. What inspires you? Music—the sound of an acoustic guitar or a single violin or a heartbreaking lyric—as well as the color purple and a hug from a good friend.
3. Why does…
The surgery is done and now I have silicon implants and no ovaries. This is exactly the way I want it. I’m tired, feeling like I’ve been run over by a Mac truck and afraid to see what my body looks like, but it’s done.
