The Social Times: What's the Future of D.C. Technology?
As reprinted from AdMarketing list
Nick ONeill runs The Social Times blog. If you're RSS feed isn't picking this blog up, it should! He also runs the allfacebook blog- the unofficial facebook blog
Nick had an interesting post this morning:
What's the Future of D.C. Technology?
Nick's overall tone is positive and says that WDC is well on the way but... that the tech community is still missing a few things. Included: positive press, funding, a culture of risk.
So, what do you think? Nick's comments about The Washington Post are pretty pointed. Do they have it all wrong? Can anyone point to recent positive press about our community? His comments about a culture of risk are interesting. Since Netpreneur days, I see many of you on the street that have fallen into safer yobs in and outside the Gvpt arena. Not that that's a bad thing ... But what do YOU think? Are we not risk takers back east?
At the sake of throwing kerosene on this fire, I'll ask our old friend Shannon Henry to comment if appropriate. Shannon's been gone from the area for awhile but I know many AdMarketers recall Shannon's stint with WaPo + TechCapital. Heck, she probably even wrote about many of your companies!
