Other innovation centres - San Francisco
San Francisco is showing innovation leadership beyond technology, it has emerging west coast alternative to US east coast cultural dominance. It also has strong hub ties to Australia and Asia, whereas East Coast has strong hub ties to Europe.
In San Francisco, July 21/22 their will be the Wordpress, Word-Camp. Wordpress will be the next big thing in blogging. All races become two horse races, with a third trailing eventually. Wordpress is well-placed to be horse # 1, 2 or at least 3. I think #1.
Wordpress has innovation leadership in the Web 2.0 space, alongside some of the more social - myspace, xing, linkedin and my favourite idea, ning (although execution is catching up to a fabulous idea).
Needless to say, I will be there at Wordcamp researching new trends in Web 2.0, along with a trip into visit some new tech in Silicon Valley. San Francisco is on the upward march again, and will be well considered in our next Global innovation Review.
PS. If you are native San Francisco or California:
Let me know. I hate to eat alone. Let’s get a drink, coffee or beer. I’ll be staying central San Fran in New Montgomery St, but happy to wander out.
If you own a social networking site, or are part of an arts community or would like to form closer links with Australia or Eastern Europe, do let me know.
