New York's Tech Scene

New York's Tech Scene gets a big write-up in the New York Times.  It's a good sign that the dot-com's and internet start-ups are starting to come back.  One of our clients is a recent internet start-up that attended a few of these Tech Meetups, and had even asked us to go (which we plan to at some point).

The article states that mobile services and computing, which finally have a lot of infrastructure in place in the NY area, are driving a lot of the new innovation and development.  I can attest to this as well, as my clients are getting into the act and starting to request Iphone apps, and sites/applications that offer more community functionality.
