- winmywii, on 03/16/2008, -1/+17I think they neglected that in the title. obviously there are cities around the world that are making great advances, but this is a list of the top U.S. cities.
- nick111, on 03/16/2008, -3/+16Yea - well that's probably symptomatic of the general decline. Yet another article that appears not to realise that the rest of the world not only exists, but in various ways is outflanking the US.
I think it's weird... I mean how long has America been an empire? 50 years? 20 years? Never? How does hubris set in so quickly? - NinjaPirateDude, on 03/16/2008, -0/+11Learn how to write a LIST.
it has numbers and paragraphs.......... - Magicmasta, on 03/16/2008, -3/+13Buried as inaccurate..
Only US cities - inactive, on 03/16/2008, -1/+11I'm a huge digg fan...shhhhhhhh!

there ya go. happy now? - grinding, on 03/16/2008, -3/+11I live near Battelle in Columbus. They recruit from OSU...students and faculty.
- andrew522, on 03/16/2008, -0/+7yeah I live in Columbus (well, the suburb Westerville) and it's a pretty diverse city. lots of art and culture, but for some reason I wasn't expecting it to be #1 on the list. I have noticed a lot of recent growth in tech (at least internet connectivity) over the last year though -- AT&T selected columbus as one of the first places to get Uverse, and the cable company actually offers a 15mb package now (which I got, compared to last year's 5mb).

I think I will stay in Seattle thank you. - inactive, on 03/16/2008, -1/+7Excuse me?! That is *****! China produces a lot of original tech products. Look at the Chintendo Vii.
- TexasShiv, on 03/16/2008, -7/+13Ahhh Columbus, what a thriving hub of technology
*rolls eyes* - zoweee, on 03/16/2008, -0/+6Yawn. Every few years articles like this roll around promising that some 5th tier series of podunk burgs in the heartland, bible belt, deep south or mountain west are about to become the new tech/science/nerd/art/culture capital of the U.S. They always ignore the myriad of factors that actually cause such things to happen in favor of hyping some ridiculous short-term trend. This is a prime example of lazy, intellectually dishonest, deadline journalism.
- trotskyist, on 03/16/2008, -1/+6Boo for lack of easy to read list.
- cheezintern, on 03/16/2008, -1/+6no, china just reverse engineers anything we do..
- winmywii, on 03/16/2008, -0/+5Columbus has a ton of tech related jobs.
- SyntraFTW, on 03/16/2008, -0/+4Cause you've totally been there.
- Coestar, on 03/16/2008, -1/+5Yuma? Phoenix should be on that list, not Yuma... the essensce of Silicon Valley is already there. They have many Intel campuses, including a $3Bn+ chip fabrication facility, Motorola, Freescale, Analog Rails, (all EDA related companies... what is more Silicon Valley than SILICON?), not to mention Google, GoDaddy, and many notable web startups, and strong RoR communities. Heck, Phoenix ought to be near #1, and it's not even on the list.
- Nobles350, on 03/16/2008, -0/+4This list is poo.
- isntreal, on 03/16/2008, -0/+3thanks
- masterm1nd, on 03/16/2008, -1/+4Just wondering, are you Joe Rogan?
- vorbalhorde, on 03/16/2008, -0/+3And apparently a fan of up-and-comnig tech cities. Right after weed, MMA, *****, talking to weirdos, and fake bands. In that order.
- CrankyHippo, on 03/16/2008, -2/+5Where will the NEXT silicon vally spring up? Hmm perhaps Silicon Vally? Sorry but it's the Mecca of tech
- VyPR, on 03/16/2008, -0/+3Careful, he might tap out to your ass kissing.
- BrandonSh, on 03/16/2008, -0/+3Obviously not if he has a picture of himself with watermarks.
- mehan, on 03/16/2008, -0/+3they failed to realize that there's life outside of U.S.
as soon as the economy goes belly up completely, the flow of foreign scientists to the U.S. will stop, and may even reverse.
and without them, science in this country is *****. just look at any research facility, even the federal ones, more than half of the people working there are foreigners. NIH labs have the highest concentration of asians outside of Chinatown... - alterImperson, on 03/16/2008, -3/+6"Where will the next Silicon Valley spring up?"
I have to wonder when the first Silicon Valley 'sprung up'. Typically valleys have a habit of being quite to opposite of 'sprung'. I'm just wondering if I'm the only one who had an issue with that? - Arcadian, on 03/16/2008, -5/+8Columbus, Ohio.
Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Palm Beach County, Florida.
Houston, Texas.
Milwaukee-Waukesha, Wisconsin.
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Boise City, Idaho.
Iowa City, Iowa.
Lake Charles, Louisiana.
Yuma, Arizona - subliminalurge, on 03/16/2008, -0/+3Interesting to see Iowa City on the list.
Being from Iowa, I would have expected to see Des Moines instead (or possibly even Cedar Falls). Iowa as a whole is definitely taking steps to be an attractive location for tech companies, and from what I've been seeing, Des Moines seems to be going a bit further in that regard than other cities. Makes me wonder why I haven't been hearing more about Iowa City. - modemlooper, on 03/16/2008, -2/+5isn't silicon valley Dolly Partons breasts?
- greatsage, on 03/16/2008, -1/+3Buried for being parochial - who seriously believes the top ten tech cities are all in the US?
- kipmartin, on 03/16/2008, -0/+2dugg up cuz its funny to see someone publicly turn into a joe rogan *****.
- bdbr, on 03/16/2008, -0/+2You think Boston is "up and coming"? I'd say its already there.
- Kallahan, on 03/16/2008, -1/+3What about Grand Rapids, MI.... Oh wait nevermind.
- somedorkygamer, on 03/16/2008, -0/+2Interesting article, but hard to follow.
- swiftheart, on 03/16/2008, -0/+2True. But I've always wondered why that was relevant to the success of Silicon Valley. The stereotype is that the start-ups have people working 70+ hours per week.
What does it matter what the weather is if you're stuck inside working? In fact, the Economist last week noted that entrepreneurs in Brazil stop working when they get enough money, unlike entrepreneurs elsewhere. Why? Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Brazil is so nice not to work in. - loneraven, on 03/16/2008, -0/+2Yea, I don't even read Forbes articles anymore. They promise you something simple, but you have to go through so much bs to get to it.
- swiftheart, on 03/16/2008, -1/+3It isn't a thriving hub of technology. That's why it's on an "up and coming" list...because the potential is there.
- ramsinks.com, on 03/16/2008, -0/+1Hey, nice ads n00bs.
cannot even read the content. Good job.
(yaya "One word, ADBLOCK".. n00bs will jump here too) - jayhawk, on 03/16/2008, -0/+1i am in the tech industry and live in GR . . . i know all 4 people who i work with. ;~)
- Spytap, on 03/16/2008, -0/+1No but their retarded "slideshow" ***** is just a ploy to increase their ad views.
- rsHoratio, on 03/16/2008, -1/+2I dont see Detroit yesterday? I hear the gangs there are now shooting each other over the wifi hotspots!
- bdbr, on 03/16/2008, -0/+1By that definition, the economy collapsed 28 years ago...but it didn't.
- Kratos76, on 03/16/2008, -0/+1Yes Yes, Horrible layout of the article Forbes... All of us just wanted to see if Our city was on the list... that's it.
