    Pete, congrats on your two months in the Valley. And you know, no matter how reasonable you tried to sound about the fact that your unique perspective (like Profy's Russian one) can be your great advantage, I think the majority of the startups will still make the decision to move as soon as they can because you have given just the right reasons for why you should love the Valley - for being able to talk about Web 2.0 right on the street and giving real faces to your email contacts. Encouraging post!

    That really was interesting. And congrats on the two months! Consider yourself lucky, being stopped on the street to talk Web 2.0 (though that could be slightly awkward). I've found myself talking to people who've never heard of Flickr..

    I was reading this and thought, wow - this is better writing than usual on mashable :) It's a well-worn subject but I like your treatment.

    Pete - great points on the benefits of the Valley, but as you've written about a number of great Web 2.0 companies that come out of Toronto. Watch out Valley, Toronto's on fire!!

    Pete - quite frankly the most honest posting on the subject that I've seen in the 4+ years working in what is a noun and not an adjective. Web 2.0. We could all use a little perspective at times and thank you for this one.
