Kudos to S.F for turning itself into a nice bedroom community, though...
I don't know if it's the .com bubble all over again. I do think the valuations are way too high, though.

I wouldn't go that far - when I think of real tech companies, I think of the silicon in silicon valley... The actual technology that allows these service oriented companies to exist.

Looks like they are more into the marketing of business applications and workflow than actually developing new technologies. Zynga may do more coding than these hucksters.

whoever buys twitter stock is probably an idiot

unless they plan on doing a quick buy and sell for a small profit

i just don't see any possible way for twitter to be valued at over $50,000,000

I honestly think newspapers will still be around longer than twitter or facebook

This is just from the top of my head. Ofcourse, Google, Adobe etc. have presence in SF as well
Not to mention Twitter.

I find it amusing that employees on their way to their Market Street HQ have to carefully pick their way through various combinations of human **** and ****ty humans on their way to work.

SF proper actually has quite a bit of old hi-tech, such as Dolby, some avionics and automation companies, but new startups are mostly web oriented stuff.
