Hummer Winblad Dumps Napster Emails, Proves Value Of Silicon Valley In The Process



(See the latest Hummer Winblad news here>)

If you're wondering why Hummer Winblad's the most search term on Technorati today, the whole matter seems to stem from this story that they've dumped emails related to the Napster case. For those of you who don't know this, Hummer Winblad is the VC firm (venture capital) that was started in part by Ann Winblad, the former girlfriend of Microsort founder Bill Gates.

In this act, and in the flood of searches on Technorati -- itself based in San Francisco and part of the Silicon Valley culture -- Hummer Winblad has demonstrated that Silicon Valley still has some impact on American Culture. I personally think it's Technorati CEO David Sifry's way of showing Ann that Technorati's got juice.

Here's a video about Silicon Valley culture..
