Fred Wilson on The History of The New York Internet Industry

1 -Start

Last week at the Web 2.0 Expo NYC, venture capitalist Fred Wilson of Union Square Ventures gave a great keynote presentation on the history of the web community in NYC: “The New York Internet Industry, 1995 to 2008, From Nascent to Ascendant”

Fred worked with Jeremy Bogdan setup a wiki to help brainstorm his talk.

Oh and Fred really wants us to drop the name “Silicon Alley” and I agree.
