Great article, but is myopic to the Valley? Other parts of the startup ecosystem? Facebook aquihired GoWalla from Austin. Are there others?
If you REALLY care about how "influential" you are, then you are not influential. That aside, what makes someone "influential?" Maybe you do great work, but want to stay under the radar because you're more humble. What if you are doing amazing things, in a small town or just a 3 block community in New York City, making an impact and touching people lives for the better, and you aren't a huge personality?
Instead of spending your time worrying about how influential you are, maybe put that energy into volunteer work, or investing five minutes a day in reaching out to someone you know and you tell them how awesome the work they are doing really matters.

Here's the video interview with Zain - many moons ago... http://youtu.be/7SAUWpZ-g-Y @
I met Zain Jaffer two years ago in London and was very impressed with his smarts and drive. What's happening now is of now surprise. Congrats to you guys. Well done!
Great coverage, great story telling. I was there over the weekend and absolutely blown away by the creativity and instant teamwork. Random strangers meeting in a room, setting their egos aside and just getting things done. What I saw done in 3 days often takes 3 months of meetings, planning, committees, and political turf battles in many businesses. Kudos to the entrepreneurs. Long may you disrupt, innovate and prosper.
maybe that is what Phlippe Starke is working on?
