VC Bloggers

"Someone pointed out to me that a number of VC bloggers either are fundraising (Roger McNamee, Bill Burnham), or just closed funds (Fred Wilson). No idea if that is coincidence, or strategy, although my best guess is the former. More importantly, though, I wonder what LPs think of this VC blogger phenomenon. There certainly are some tangible business goals that a blog can help pursue - such as letting serial entrepreneurs know what types of technology you're interested in - but it also can be a major time drain. If I'm committing capital to a fund, do I want one of its GPs spending an hour, or sometimes more, blogging?"
