Given the current trends dominating VC investing (primarily social investing/real-time data), I believe it's imperative for VC firms to utilize those mediums. Plus, the VC business is quite different from the PE business in the sense VCs are on the lookout to fund the next Google/Facebook operating out of a garage.
