Christine Herron of First Round Capital: Extended Version

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.
