From the headline you would think this is about talent being drained away from VCs, but it is just an interview with Danielle Morrill about her Zombie VC post.

Yeah, it's a great interview, but the headline is just weird.

the headline is a play on obviously eating brains and a subset of VC's wasting entrepreneurs brain time by taking meetings when they have no plans on considering investing...

I really believe that the open will push out the closed in lots of areas. It's happening with software first, content is next, and information has been in transition for years. Just like everyday people are adjusting to having their addresses and phone numbers available on the internet (not to mention things like their mortgages and car loans), the business community will have to adapt to more information being out there.

This doesn't mean that there isn't a role for privacy or trust, just that the frontier of openness will push beyond all non-essential info, making the game a lot more fun to play.
