> I am quite curious about the old London coffee house culture. Why don't we have it today? Could we recreate it? Do we have it today in another form? Have they been mythologised? Is it an example of the September effect?

I think arguably we're posting on a modern one right now.

Heh, yeah, but it's so non-social I think it might be an equivalent to their letters page of The Times.

Yes, but have people met here and spun off a new company from their conversations?

There's something significant missing from comment based interactions that exist in IRL interactions.

Since it's HN, I would think probably, yes :) I personally have received a job interview on the strength of a comment I posted here.
