Best Reading of the Day - Entry 0135 Boston vs. San Francisco

Where is start-up central in the United States?  Everyone thinks of Silicon Valley without batting an eye (not really in San Francisco is it?).

How about Boston?

Yes.  Boston is a tremendous hub of technology activity and start-up activity.

This article compares the two:

Here is a snippet from that piece:

Let’s say you’re an ambitious, creative professional or entrepreneur working in the United States. You’re interested in technology, you have the luxury of mobility, and you want to be close to the center of things. Which city should you choose as your home?

If you’re attracted to a specific sub-field, the answer may be obvious. For finance, advertising, traditional media, or fashion, it’s New York. For government, it’s Washington, DC. For entertainment, it’s Los Angeles.

But for almost any other area of technology or its related industries, Boston and San Francisco should be high on your list. Both are top-tier innovation hubs. How are you supposed to choose between them?

Happy Reading,
