In an open letter, published on the website below as well as in newspaper ads, AOL, Apple, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Twitter and Yahoo laid out five core "principles" in their effort, which they are labeling "Reform Government Surveillance." "We understand that governments have a duty to protect their citizens. But this summer's revelations highlighted the urgent need to reform government surveillance practices worldwide," reads the letter, addressed to President Obama and members of Congress. "The balance in many countries has tipped too far in favor of the state and away from the rights of the individual — rights that are enshrined in our Constitution. This undermines the freedoms we all cherish. It's time for a change." http://reformgovernmentsurveillance.com _____________________________________________ o Mountain View-Based HealthLoop Raises $10 Million in First Round Mountain View, Calif. -- HealthLoop, the Mountain View-based developer of a cloud-based platform designed to automate the process of follow-up healthcare, said on Monday it has raised $10 million in its first round of funding, led by Canvas Venture Fund, an early-stage venture fund managed by Morgenthaler Technology Investment. Subtraction Capital also participated in the round, which the company will use to enhance its technology. Founded by Jordan Shlain, a primary care doctor in San Francisco. HealthLoop offers a platform designed to help keep doctors, patients and caregivers connected between visits, as well as provide key clinical information. "Medicine, at its best, is a conversation between a doctor and a patient," said Shlain. "But conversations take time, and time is the most depleted resource in our healthcare system today. We're reimagining the doctor-patient experience, using technology to empower these pivotal relationships." http://healthloop.com/ http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/healthloop-raises-10m-in-series-a-round-235037591.html _____________________________________________ o Menlo Park's Highland Capital Names Walt Doyle as Venture Partner Menlo Park, Calif. -- Highland Capital Partners, a venture capital firm with offices in Menlo Park and Massachusetts, on Monday named Walt Doyle as a venture partner in its Cambridge, Mass. office.
