In your opinion, what events, companies, or people made the biggest impact on the technology world in 2010? No doubt, it was Facebook and Twitter, which were incredible businesses for 2010. For us, it was a big departure from social networking and a new commitment to social entertainment. Groupon is also fantastic.

2010 was very good to us. A number of companies in the portfolio delivered very strong operating results in 2010, which is exciting. Also, we had an investment in a company that went public this year, BroadSoft, which is one of 2010's best-performing IPOs. What was the biggest news for you/your firm this year? 1) Mobile web.
