I agree, the rest of the world is dying for these new products being created in SV, however they're being bought up and rolled up or snuffed out before the rest of the world really experiences them. This is especially true for the hyper local products that only service major metropolitan areas and some of the more "techier" social mobile products. Of course, I understand the rate of adoption in more rural areas doesn't fit the bing bang boom business model, but there is a crap ton of money to be made in the long haul. </rant>
