I think all the recent NY hype is indeed mostly hype, but it will go a long way toward convincing folks to give web startups a chance here. Here's to hoping it's a somewhat self-fulfilling prophecy :)

But it just plain surprised me not to see the valley dominate in that

thread. Another interesting tidbit– last month, 7% of my blog's visitors

were from NYC. A year ago, 4.3% of August's traffic was from NYC. Again,

goofy anecdotal data, but kind of interesting. With TechStars aiming at

NYC, YC having an “Ambassador to the East” in Alexis Ohanian, DogPatch Labs,

Hunch, etc… It sure seems like the NYC startup scene is accelerating.

For ex, I think everyone would agree that there are more startups in the bay area than in NYC, but also the population of software engineers is probably higher than in NYC also, thus making it harder to find people in NYC simply because there are less engineers there…

I've been hearing more stories about decentralized startups that have (or plan to have) a corporate or bizdev “presence” in NYC and the Vally, but otherwise have staff everywhere.

it, but figuring I'd go look it up before I screenshotted it. Forgot.

Good catch. Maybe you can work a bit on your sarcastic delivery, though. I

think the internet needs a bit more snark, and you're just the guy to do it.

Sheesh.
