Recipe For The Next Silicon Valley
from the not-so-easy dept
Wired has an article about how to create a new Silicon Valley where they talk to the author of Cloning Silicon Valley to figure out what ingredients go into a Silicon Valley recipe. I have some problems with the idea of recreating a Silicon Valley, because it always seems to involve too much direction from above - and not enough of just letting things evolve. I'd say that most places today that are trying to recreate Silicon Valley may miss the next big thing, because it won't seem to fit in with what they think a Silicon Valley should focus on.
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
