			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mike Hirshland of Boston-based <a href="http://www.polarisventures.com/">Polaris Venture Partners</a> recently turned his Flip video camera on me in a desperate attempt to become a video artist like, well, me.</p>
<p>He fails miserably, of course, to reach my levels of jittery and nausea-inducing shooting, by sticking the camera in my face and asking me what I think of the, surprise, online video business.</p>
<p>Tables turned, I embrace the opportunity and blather on.</p>
<p>He <a href="http://vcmike.wordpress.com/2007/09/20/interviewing-the-interviewer/">posted it on his VCMike&#8217;s Blog here</a>, but you can see the video below:</p>

<p>And here is me <a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20070723/a-talk-with-vcmike/">interviewing Hirshland in July</a> about blogs, social networking&#8211;and, of course, the hot-and-hyped Facebook&#8211;and some video-content plays:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mike Hirshland of Boston-based <a href="http://www.polarisventures.com/">Polaris Venture Partners</a> was in San Francisco recently, and so I had a little chat with him, part of my ongoing series: Meet the VCs, so you can fight or flee when you see them at parties.</p>
<p>I met Hirshland when he was working in Congress on tech issues such as the Microsoft antitrust case, but he moved onto Intel and then venture investing and now focuses on funding companies, well, that Microsoft might be interested in buying. He also has a blog with a pretty good name: <a href="http://vcmike.wordpress.com/">VCMike&#8217;s Blog</a>.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the video where he talks about the consumer market, where Hirshland likes blogs, social networking&#8211;and, of course, the hot-and-hyped Facebook&#8211;and some video-content plays:</p>
