Thing is, the valley has a really lovely concentration of early adopters. While there are lots of early adopters around here too, it's still different.

Like for example, we're making an iPad app. Just because we're from Europe we were a few months behind people from The Valley simply by virtue of the iPad becoming available much later.

No matter how much we try to hide from this fact, the web happens in the valley and "far from the eyes, far from the heart" rings all too true.
