The article makes a good point, and I think it's one that can be applied pretty well to our industry. Companies often get hyped up in the echo chamber of the Valley, even though they haven't established themselves in the broader world. A few months ago, FourSquare might have been a good example of this.
On a separate note, I got a kick out of the phrase, "the real world of philosophy." I know what he's getting at, but it still sounds oxymoronic.

The echo chamber of the Valley - great point. There are a lot more companies than we care to admit that fall into this category IMHO.
yeah, this is sort of amusingly ironic coming from an analytic philosopher.
