Earthquakes to Knock Out the Dot Com World?
from the fear-in-Silicon-Valley dept
Every few months someone somewhere writes an article about how an earthquake will knock out all these companies in silicon valley. Admittedly, it is a potential problem, but I do believe that folks out here are more equipped to deal with it than everyone believes.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

It starts........with the ground shaking
As for "the Bay", nice place. I am not sure why EVERYONE wants to move there, I mean, if you consider what it takes to be a .com, Reedly, CA [pop 15,000] would be FINE. All you need is bandwidth. And with housing costs of 400$ for a 2bdroom, wow. I am in [city] and my studio is 400$ w/ a discount. When I get my .com ready...it will be in my bedroom, cheap and easy, just drop the T1 by my pillow. I mean, hiring all your coders, server guys, and CSR people....a bedroom sounds like a great place to start.
