Is the startup culture actually producing anything of value (either monetary or social)? I mean, Instagram, Twitter, etc., but what else has come out of this environment that's either making money or being widely used?

(and those two didn't come out of the TechCrunch/ycombiner/etc. world anyway, right?)

there's def good stuff out there, like sparkrelief (http://www.sparkrelief.org/) or hand things down (http://beta.handthingsdown.com/iphone/index.html), mytab (https://www.mytab.co/), and dradt (http://www.disasterrelief.cc/) is being used pretty heavily in texas right now since the fires.
making money or widely used is a different question, though.
imo the best and most interesting startup stuff is happening in nyc and dc. in dc especially, a town already full of do-gooders, social entrepreneurship is a big deal.

ime ppl in silicon valley wanna build the next facebook or groupon, ppl in dc wanna ~change the world~ and shit.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Saturday, 17 September 2011 02:28 (thirteen years ago) link
that's an interesting distinction

notably, most of the cars on getaround are in california. silicon valley has the early adopter culture going for it, at least.

Also the truth: AOL has not reached out to me once in this entire situation. You’d think they might care about something like that. Evidently, they don’t. I’m not losing any sleep over it, but it’s curious.

There is exactly one person to blame for all of this — and her name is not Erick.

Apparently my former colleague and fellow Diet Coke fiend Paul Carr is founding a startup post-TechCrunch, instead of heading back to professional blog jockeying like the rest of us pixel-stained wretches. Yay Paul.So what on earth is it already? Well Carr himself told me that the startup is a media-play, traversing the intersection between old media and new media — “the third way,” as he puts it. Okay.

Public executions of leaders tend to have a severe chilling effect on whoever takes over, and Arianna Huffington is, without a doubt, the current editor in chief of TechCrunch.
