Is Silicon Valley Similar to Detroit?
by noteworthy at 9:27 am EST, Mar 28, 2005

Well, if Esther Dyson says so, then it must be true.

Another path for technology can be seen in the proliferation of new services and networks on the Web that are being built, largely from the ground up, by ordinary people.

"Ordinary people", and it's not even an election year!

There is mounting evidence that this grass-roots media hybrid is moving into the mainstream. Last week, Yahoo announced that it had bought Flickr.

Jerry Yang, a Yahoo founder, said candidly, "We are venturing boldly, and somewhat blindly, into this world of user-generated content."

So when is Jerry going to buy MemeStreams? Has he even called yet?

I just checked my voice mail. No, he has not called yet. Although I did have another one of those annoying messages filled with fart noises from Larry and Serge.
