Replay: Seattle is the new Silicon Valley, says NY Times

By Michael Rice

I just noticed that Adam Hanig passed along a recent New York Times article likening Seattle to Silicon Valley. The article notes that a "start-up ecosystem needs social networks, support businesses and a business culture that views failure as a badge of honor, not shame. All of that is in place in Seattle."

In some ways, the article reminds me of the late 90's and all the strained analogies. But this isn't the 90's, and now I live in Seattle. Sometimes I feel like this is the right assessment, sometimes I don't. Right now I'm just happy to have the New York Times say it.

Some of the local glitterati mentioned in the article include Tom A. Alberg (Madrona Venture Group), Oren Etzioni (Farecast), Walter Smith (Jackson Fish Market), and the Fremont Troll.
