Silicon Valley - Still Important To Tech Advances

mrspin writes "This week the The New York Times sparked a lively debate by publishing an article which argued that, when it comes to creating innovative technology, geography still matters — and that Silicon Valley is the place to be. It's certainly true that Silicon Valley, compared with other innovation hot-spots, has the much needed Venture Capital and the connections that enable money to flow from one new company to another. Want proof? ZDNet takes a look at LinkSViewer, a new web-based visual networking tool for exploring capital relationships in Silicon Valley." Is the success of Valley-area projects the result of a more creative environment, or is the cachet of the area (and the resulting money) the reason behind their success?

ZDNet did not take a look at this. You took a look at this, and posted it to your ZDNet blog.

Full disclosure = A good thing.

It's the weather!

Another sunny, breezy day here on the SF Penninsula and in the South Bay.... it never gets too cold or too hot here, it seems.

It's no wonder housing here is so expensive. Too bad the rising sea level will swamp us soon. ;)
