The Silicon Desert Rises
from the creation-of-a-silicon-economy dept
It seems that nowadays there are a bunch of silicon valley copycats cropping up around the nation. Will they ever be like Silicon valley? Probably not but the interesting thing is that each of these areas will probably find their own niche (and flavor). The latest in these string of new silicon economies is Silicon Desert, it seems inevitable that most US cities will evolve their own tech regions (BioTech, InfoTech and eventually NanoTech) or dwindle!
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
