I noticed this article, Web 2.0: Does ‘old media’ get it? by ZDNet’s Donna Bogatin discusses the meme started by friend of Social Media Club Tom Foremski regarding are companies like Google the New Media companies, which also implies the NY/Hollywood crowd are over.
Donna comes out with some good ideas about NYC, including some ideas on why as media content companies, the NY scene may be even more valuable than the valley folks realize. But I don’t think anyone wants this to be an east-west smackdown.
Those around in NYC tonight and who already signed up at NextNY’s wiki will get a chance to discuss “New York’s Present and Future as a Place to Foster Innovation and Entrepreneurship,” and perhaps figure out how to reinvent the parts of NY that aren’t working as well as they could. See you there later.
