Venture capital investor Christine Herron sees a large trend of both startups and leading-edge consumer brands taking advantage of the deep Web and the social media becoming connected. Like a small-town doctor, today's emerging companies can better serve consumers by knowing both what they need and where it's needed, through the consolidation of online identities, consumer behaviors, and social personas.

In this video interview, Christine Herron talks about how new online networks are allowing us to adapt to the radical disappearance of privacy with Ideas Project, a new website brought to you by Nokia. Ideas Project is an online space that provides a new way to interact with thought leaders and their big ideas about the future of connected communications. For more on this idea from Herron, visit http://www.ideasproject.com.

Christine Herron is a Principal with First Round Capital, an early-stage venture capital firm. Previously, Christine was a director at Midyear Network, where she developed the Media practice strategy. Prior to Midyear Network, Christine held operational roles with Mission Research, NetObjects, and Microsoft, and was the founder and CEO of Mercury2. She started as an investor with Geocapital Partners, where she funded early Internet and network infrastructure businesses including Netcom and AXON Networks. Christine was ranked among the Top 20 Women in Technology in 2000 by AltaVista, and has earned degrees from both Stanford University and Columbia University.

Ideas Project, a project of Nokia, brings together the most visionary and influential big thinkers to contemplate the big ideas that matter most to the future of communications.
