Silicon Valley has a lot of noise, a lot of hype. People are very excited about all of the Facebook stuff, Facebook applications. It's just been a huge hype over the last year when actually ... there isn't really that much value. It's just a bubble. It's almost a distraction. I think this is absolutely true (especially regarding fb), but I also believe that the hype & noise comes with the territory. Viable business model or not (YouTube is still struggling in that regard), SF has a significant pool of both human and fiscal resources which is critical to execution and survival.
