Silicon Valley - Still Important To Tech Advances (http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/91713898/article.pl):
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? http://rss.slashdot.org/~a/Slashdot/slashdot?i=60R4kt</img> (http://rss.slashdot.org/~a/Slashdot/slashdot?a=60R4kt)
