I do not feel I was fairly represented. In addressing the larger issue, the dot-com invasion, I believe the author overlooked a couple of salient points. One is that the web, as with any medium, caters to a diverse array of content. However, it also provides cheap or free access for individuals to all kinds of information, and in doing so, creates communities previously impossible to envision. Users can tap into these from anywhere in the world.
Grassroots activism has an entirely new forum for discussion, debate, and mobilization.
Additionally, the potential for educational initiatives and growth is huge, and not to be neglected. I am disappointed to note that it is one often drawn by many disgruntled San Franciscans, as well as Ms. Goldberg. San Francisco's dot-com invasion is a controversial and divisive subject. However, as with any social or political battle, the lines are not quite as clear as the media likes to paint them. Not all dot-coms are evil, although they are all becoming the scapegoat of this phenomenon.
