BuzzFeed investor explains his interest in the social publisher.?

FORTUNE -- Social publisher BuzzFeed today announced that it had raised nearly $19.3 million in new venture capital funding, led by existing investor New Enterprise Associates.

So we took a few minutes to chat about BuzzFeed with NEA partner Patrick Kerins, who sits on the company's board of directors. What follows is an edited transcript:

FORTUNE: You led a $15.5 million financing just last year for BuzzFeed, and the NY Times reports that the money "essentially hasn't been touched yet." So why pump in more cash now?

KERINS: It's not true to say the money hasn't been touched. It's a slight misinterpretation that someone might have made after hearing that BuzzFeed didn't 'need' new money. This round was a situation in which the company had interest in raising new money as a cushion to be aggressive in a few areas. And insiders like us said, 'Don't go to market, just do it with us.'

If the company ramps the way we think it will over the next year, we could take advantage of its position to be a lot more aggressive in mobile. There also are some ideas about international development, but that comes after mobile. There also are some new developments in video, and the company has added some people in that space.

When you look at BuzzFeed's 2012 revenue and traffic growth, how do you separate out results that derived from the presidential election?

It's clear that the political section has been an important part of the company's story and pageviews. But if you broke down revenue by section you wouldn't feel it was particularly concentrated on political revenue. In the social advertising space, the advertisers sort of know where they want to be, and it's actually unusual for it to be [limited to] the political pages.

Ben Smith's stories and scoops have created a lot of buzz and traffic, but the revenues are diversified throughout the site. So I'm not particularly concerned about post-election revenue drop-off. Advertisers have decided that BuzzFeed is a place they want to be, and that remains true.

You mentioned Ben Smith, who BuzzFeed hired in late 2011 from Politico. Should Buzzfeed continue adding high-profile journalists?

You're talking to a director, and this is the sort of thing we leave to the guys who run the company. So my opinion is my opinion, and nothing more. I think that, at different stages of the company's development, having certain notable names is more important than it is at other stages. We want to be a very well-run journalistic entity, but I wouldn't expect us to be looking for Ben Smith-type hires every six to eight months. Our objective is to constantly find the stories and pieces that result in tons of sharing. If a big name makes sense at a given time, then we'll try to get them. But up-and-comers also have proven able to find those stories.

What has been BuzzFeed's influence on the broader digital media market?

I think the social advertising/story unit thing. I think BuzzFeed has proven that you can build a meaningful venture-sized business by using that model. It's turned heads, including at big companies in the Valley. BuzzFeed has eschewed the normal display stuff, and its success has resulted in a lot more of that type of format being tried by other online publishers. And one of the things we wanted to make sure of was that we raised enough capital to keep Buzzfeed on the cutting edge.

What is the future of BuzzFeed? Does it get subsumed by another online media company, like what happened with HuffingtonPost and AOL?

I wouldn't rule out the possibility that it could become a standalone media company. I think our business at New Enterprise Associates is to put real capital behind companies that we think can do that.

It's certainly true that there aren't a lot of VC firms doing content deals, but we've been pretty involved. Not just BuzzFeed, but also Buzz Media, Brian Bedol's new video content production company Bedrocket and a non-fiction film distribution company called SnagFilms.

Media is generally a slow-moving industry with ad money taking a lot of time to find new things. It's not like creating a new storage widget that's 10 times more effective than the last one, so everyone buys it and rips out the old one.

But we've seen enough change in global content consumption and technology usage habits to feel like there are real venture-type opportunities in content. None of us know how it will all play out for sure, but if you can find a great team on the edge of something?new in content we're willing to do it. And that's what we think we have in BuzzFeed.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - In a major victory for Google Inc, U.S. regulators on Thursday ended their investigation into the giant Internet company and concluded that it had not manipulated its Web search results to hurt rivals.

The Federal Trade Commission did, however, win promises from Google that it would end the practice of "scraping" reviews and other data from rivals' websites for its own products, and to allow advertisers to export data to independently evaluate advertising campaigns.

Google also agreed to no longer request sales bans when suing companies which infringe on patents that are essential to ensuring interoperability, also known as standard essential patents, the FTC said on Thursday.

Microsoft Corp and other Google competitors have pressed the FTC to bring a broad antitrust case against Google similar to the sweeping Justice Department litigation against Microsoft in the 1990s.

Meanwhile smaller Internet companies such as Nextag have complained about Google tweaking its Web search results to give prominence to its own products, pushing down competitors' rankings and making them more difficult for customers to find.

At a press conference, FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz anticipated criticism of the agency's decision to not further pursue Google on the so-called subject of search bias.

"Even though people would like us to bring a big search bias case, the facts aren't there," he said.

"The changes Google have agreed to make ensure that consumers continue to reap the benefits of competition in the online marketplace and in the market for innovative wireless devices they enjoy," said Leibowitz.

The commission voted 4 to 1 to settle the patent investigation into Google's injunction requests. It voted 5 to 0 to end the probe of Google's search practices.

The news had little impact on Google shares, which closed up 42 cents at $723.67, as most investors had expected the FTC probe to conclude without inflicting major damage.

"I never saw any real likelihood that the feds were going to insert themselves between one of the most popular brands in the world and the constituency that adores it," said Whit Andrews, an analyst for Gartner Inc.

RIVALS DISAPPOINTED

Yelp, which operates the social networking/user review website yelp.com, had complained about scraped reviews, and said it was disappointed with the result of the FTC probe.

"The closure of the commission's investigation into search bias by Google without action ... represents a missed opportunity to protect innovation in the Internet economy," wrote Yelp spokesman Vince Sollitto in an email. "We look for the regulatory bodies continuing their investigation to have greater success."

Microsoft had no immediate comment, but Dave Heiner, its deputy general counsel, complained in a blog post on Wednesday about "Google's misconduct," specifically blocking a fully featured YouTube, which Google owns, from the Windows Phone.

Gary Reback, who represents a group of Google's critics including Nextag, said he thought the investigation was inadequate since the FTC failed to respond to his clients' assertions that they had been hurt by Google and asked few questions in its civil subpoenas.

"They talked about how thorough and exhaustive the investigation was but that's really rubbish," said Reback, who is with the law firm Carr & Ferrell LLP and is best known for his work against Microsoft in the 1990s. "I've never seen anything as shallow and incomplete as this was."

Microsoft was embroiled in antitrust probes and litigation from 1990 when the FTC began an investigation until 2011, when the final consent decree finally expired.

Leibowitz defended the commission's investigation into Google, saying the agency had scoured through some 9 million pages of documents and taken sworn testimony from key Google executives. "This was an incredibly thorough and careful investigation by the commission, and the outcome is a strong and enforceable set of agreements," he said.

Google's David Drummond, the company's chief legal officer, said the FTC announcement on Thursday meant that "Google's services are good for users and good for competition."

Thomas Rosch, who is leaving the commission this month, suggested the investigation fell short.

"After promising an elephant more than a year ago, the commission instead has brought forth a couple of mice," said Rosch, a Republican.

The FTC broke with its usual practice of requiring a consent decree to settle an investigation. Instead it allowed Google to write a letter pledging to implement the agreed-upon changes in the search portion of the probe.

That prompted some sharp questions about whether Google would live up to its pact.

"I have no reason to think that Google won't honor their commitment; I think they will," said Leibowitz, noting financial penalties if Google failed to do so.

One Google competitor seemed to think the FTC agreement with Google would be a small boon to competitors.

"The concessions that the FTC extracted on review scraping, patents, and data are real, but not game changers by any means," said Oren Etzioni, co-founder of Decide.com, a product website that advises shoppers when prices may change or new versions of gadgets may come out.

Some of Google's critics, anticipating a weak conclusion to the FTC's investigation, said in December that they may be ready to take their grievances to the Justice Department.

The European Union, based in Brussels, is conducting a parallel probe of Google. It announced on December 18 that it was giving the company a month to come up with proposals to resolve its probe.

The European Commission has been examining informal settlement proposals from Google since July but has not sought feedback from the complainants, suggesting it is not convinced by what Google has put on the table so far.

Google is also being looked at by a group of state attorneys general, led by Texas.

In August, Google was forced to pay $22.5 million to settle charges it bypassed the privacy settings of customers using Apple Inc's Safari browser. The practice was in violation of a 2011 consent decree with the FTC over a botched rollout of the now defunct social network Buzz.

Different phases of a startup ask for different types of financing. In this post we look at the startup funding cycle as it applies to ventures listed on VC4Africa, and ask the community to share from their own experiences!

Most startups go through a similar funding cycle: you start off with finance from your own savings or from small and informal loans from friends and family. If things go well, you might be able to pick up some seed stage funding by participating in a startup event or by winning a business plan competition. With some early traction, it is possible to apply for an accelerator or get backing from an early stage seed fund. Once the concept for the venture starts to mature, and the infrastructure comes together with tangible traction, the next step can be equity financing.

In this graph we propose an ?African Startup Funding Cycle,? adapted from the Startup Funding Cycle already known.

It is important to understand where your venture is in this cycle and your best sources/types of funding: Seed, Start-up, 1st round (Series A), 2nd round (Working cap), 3rd round and 4th round (Bridge and Mezzanine), and beyond. Different types of financing have specific pros and cons. We make some comments on each.

Seed Stage -?In the seed stage your best bet is informal loans from friends, family and ?fools? (3Fs). Other?relevant funding types includes?Grants, winnings from a competition, or a Micro Finance?loan.

1) Small and informal loans -?For many entrepreneurs, friends and family are the first source of finance. They are approachable and generally willing to help you at seed stage. The question goes, if your own family and friends don?t believe in you, who will?

Points to consider: While small financing from these sources can be a good start, these funds are often not sufficient as your company grows. It can get the ball rolling, but you will quickly need to look for solutions that will take your venture into the next stage. Also, be careful what kind of agreements you make to ensure you don?t risk these relationships down the road. Did you?accidentally?promise equity to everyone?

2) Competitions and Challenges ??These can be a good way to get exposure, feedback, and in some cases money. Some are run by companies, others by governments and/or non profit organisations.

Points to consider: The application process for competitions and business plan challenges can be very time consuming. The time spent on applying can also be spent on building your business. If you participate in a competition, know what you want to gain out of the program and make it count. If the time invested doesn?t move your bottom line, ask why you are doing it?

3) Grants ? There are a growing number of organizations, universities and governments that look to support venture creation via grant making programs. These programs can be a great resource when your venture is still at an early stage of development. When it comes to grants you might wonder: what can be the downside to ?free money?? But just as with other types of financing there are always pros and cons.

Points to consider: Small grants may be an option as a seed investment, but for making your company grow most grants will not be sufficient. Also important to consider is that when receiving grants you and your company will have to comply to certain rules and will be expected to report accordingly. Grants can end when a program ends, etc. Another thing to worry about is that applying for a grant usually asks something else than drafting a validated business plan. Commercial funding requires a thought out business model and this actually has the benefit that you are forced to think through thoroughly how to reach an economically successful business.

Startup Early Stage and Later Stage -?When you reach next stages in the Startup Funding Cycle and bigger amounts become needed for the financing of your company, one could turn to investors providing Equity or Loans.

1) Incubators / Accelerators?- Many programs have sprung up in recent years, especially in technology related sectors. They can provide networks, coaching, exposure, and sometimes facilitate small levels of funding.

Points to consider: Make sure the program fits your business. Is it the right environment, with a good network, and the right mentors? Also good to note is that if business is not technology related, you might have to look harder for these types of programs. If they don?t exist in your market you will be forced to find an alternative. In some cases, you might have to simply start your own networking group.

2) Equity -?When your company is too big for small loans, and too small for big ones, equity is the designated option. This is the primary type of finance Venture Capital for Africa facilitates in. Equity means transferring part of the ownership of your company to an investor.

Points to consider: This has, like every type of financing, advantages and dis-advantages. Equity comes from venture capital investors or angel investors, who often bring expertise, network ? often times more valuable when compared to the money. As they put their money in your company and very much want you to succeed, they will be keen to help you in any way they can.?Also, the investor will want to have a say in your (major) business decisions. Equity means working together.

3) Institutional loans -?This includes banks and other SME lenders.

Points to consider: The most important requirement for a loan is usually collateral. If your venture proves unsuccessful, and you cannot repay the loan, the lender has the right to sell your collateral to get (a part of) their investment back. This makes getting a loan difficult for new ventures, often they have no collateral/assets to offer. A promising business plan could make an institutional loan an option, but this is quite exceptional. But when revenue flows start to grow, this can become a good option for funding a venture in growth stage.

**Exits?- It is important to?realize that most investors want to get out of the business eventually and expect a satisfactory return on their investment when they leave. An IPO (initial public offering) is the dream of many startups, but a merger or sale is more common. In some cases, if you have an outstanding team, you might find this is your biggest asset.

TherapyNewsPic Some statistics suggest that women are more likely than men to be the victims of intimate partner sexual assault. Date rape, sexual assault, and even stalking are highly concerning issues for women. These events can increase a woman?s risk of psychological issues, including anxiety, PTSD, depression, substance misuse, and suicide. However, many men also experience interpersonal violence. Although the rates of sexual assault may be higher for women, muggings, physical aggression, and other forms of violence can lead to significant psychological problems as well. There is a large body of research examining the negative consequences of violence against women, but less is known about how this type of event affects men. Therefore, Katherine M. Iverson of the Women?s Health Sciences Division of the National Center for PTSD in Boston, Massachusetts recently led a study that looked at the psychological outcomes of various types of interpersonal violence in a sample of 5,692 men and women.

Iverson found that 42% of the men and 46% or the women had experienced at least one occurrence of interpersonal violence. The women had more instances of sexual assault, physical assault, coercion, and stalking. The perpetrators were very often intimate partners. For the men, physical violence, aggression, or muggings were more common, and they were more likely perpetrated by a non-intimate or non-family individual. However, regardless of the type of violence, the victims all experienced similar mental health outcomes, including increased psychological problems and increased suicidal ideation and attempts. ?Although women were at higher risk for several forms of interpersonal violence, the impact of interpersonal violence on mental health outcomes did not vary by gender,? Iverson said.

These findings suggest that men who are victims of violence are just as negatively impacted as women. Clinicians should be aware of this and should take measures to identify those at risk for mental health problems as a result of violence. They should also make men and women aware of prevention and intervention strategies to help protect them from negative outcomes.

In art, there is a point where romanticism and magic realism intersect. In photography, that point, or place, is southern Louisiana and adjoining regions. It's a legacy that was epitomized by legendary New Orleans photographer Clarence John Laughlin, a self-proclaimed "extreme romantic" who became America's first surrealist photographer in the 1930s. He died in 1985, but his legacy lives on today in an array of Louisiana photographers including Josephine Sacabo, and extends slightly west to Beaumont, Texas, where Keith Carter has long pursued his dreamily localized form of magic realism. Both employ a hybrid of digital techniques and archaic processes and both are featured in shows at A Gallery for Fine Photography. Sacabo's photogravure expo, like her recent book, is titled Nocturnes, but there also are some exciting new images where her baroque feminine mysticism takes a taut new turn. Inspired by the late Brazilian author Clarice Lispector, arguably the Latin American writer most attuned to psychological issues, works like Geometry of Discord, Beyond Thought (pictured) convey something of the confluence of circumstance and emotion that can lead to intuitive flashes of epiphany. There is a near constructivist formalism about these dynamic new works, a nod perhaps to Lispector's Ukrainian birth before emigrating with her parents to Brazil as a child in the 1920s.

??Keith Carter's Natural Histories series lives up to its name in images made using archaic lenses that take us through a looking glass into a parallel universe where feral humans and decorous animals all occupy a whimsically Darwinian wonderland. They may originate in east Texas, but Carter's images delve into the rich recesses of mythology and the human psyche to explore the common threads of human and animal attraction in forms ranging from the luminous blue wings of the Morpho moth to the mating games of formally attired humans in archaic bals masques. All appear as artifacts, reminders that we are products of the same earth with all of the beauty and animal urges that implies. ? D. ERIC BOOKHARDT
