I like SV. Most people outside of it, albeit smart and intelligent, "don't get Internet" and it's quite apparent. While there are always exceptions to any rule, it's still a rule nevertheless, therefore the original guy's comment "... even for the east coast" IMO is still valid.

We're in Austin, TX - commonly accepted as 4th largest startup hub behind Valley, Boston and Seattle. And people here don't get Internet - everybody's busy inventing new ways of being acquired by IBM via producing yet another boring (but always revolutionary) B2B crap on J2EE.
