Orange Blogger Bus tour in Silicon Valley in search of the future | live Orange blog<\/h3>\n

by guest blogger Glenn Le Santo<\/p>\n

\"Blogger<\/a>I\u2019m excited! Genuinely excited, in that kid-the-night-before-Christmas way. Why? Because I\u2019m one of the lucky 13 writers from Europe, Australia and China to have been chosen by Orange to go on a blogger bus tour of San Francisco and Silicon Valley in September.<\/p>\n

The tour aims to find out what makes Silicon Valley tick. We want to examine the culture of the Bay Area and meet the companies, institutions and individuals that make the area what it is: a world leader in technological innovation.<\/p>\n

The area spawned the giants such as HP and Apple \u2013 and latterly Facebook and Twitter. We want to know how the area does this. We also want to find out if it will continue to do so, especially as some observers (such as Y combinator\u2019s Paul Graham) think the Facebook IPO might have signalled the end of the Valley\u2019s long reign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
