1. I spent a good deal of time tooling up and down 101. SV and Ess Eff are kinda like Atlanta and Alpharetta. If you walk into the Starbuck's at 5th & Spring on any work day and toss a quarter into the crowd it will land within 5 feet of an entrepreneur, an investor, or both.

2. Great point. Real estate is king in ATL. Read "The Man in Full" for more.

3. I think the social network is here. I literally sit and look at over it every day from my office window.
