This is definitely an interesting point of view on the recent Wall Street interest on social media. I am glad someone brought it up, I do see the use and how social media and related innovations are convenient, but is a company that adds a vintage filter to a photo really progress in the long term? This is the question the author is suggesting. Personally I just roll my eyes over the next cutesy named "start up" that uses Bootstrap for their website. It seems like most of it is just an extension of social media or it's something that just causes more fragmentation in coding. Personally, VC investment should be focused on scientific and technological progress, personally I see that investment in Facebook is just misallocation of resources when it could be invested in scientific research into microprocessors or circuits or other real innovations. We need to promote the ideals and innovations of the next Steve Jobs, not the next Zuckerberg.
