Not to pick a nit but as someone who grew up in the San Francisco Bay area,
San Francisco is very tech heavy but is separate from silicon valley. I put the Northern most edge of SV at the Oracle complex in Redwood Shores. But back during the bubble that was too far north for some.
Also SF seems to be gaining more traction with Web 2.0 then with the 1.0 trend so my statement may be facing a shift with companies like twitter and digg making their homes in SF proper.
- jojopotato 16y agoThere are tons of tech companies that are north of that Redwood Shores complex, virtually all the programmers I know work north of there actually.
- mikeryan 16y agoI'm not actually disagreeing with you, I'm just saying that at some point there's an edge of SV and it does not actually reach as far north as SF. Wikipedia at least seems to agree (though of course it doesn't have an edge instead saying "Southern Peninsula") http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Valley http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Valley Also remember the term actually didn't refer to software companies originally it referred to the semi-conductor and chip makers who pretty much stayed in santa clara county.
