Michael Arrington has a new post on his Uncrunched blog "San Francisco Or Palo Alto." In this post, he comments that over the past few years San Francisco has stolen the show from Palo Alto as the center of Tech and that The Creamery in South Of Market (SOMA) seems to be where a huge percentage of meetings are happening.
I have lived and worked in San Francisco for a dozen years and I have seen the ebb and flow of tech start-ups here. In the peak of the Internet bubble (circa 2000), SOMA was the home to numerous Internet and New Media start-ups. After the bubble burst, SOMA seemed to be quieter, but in the past five years, my sense is that San Francisco and SOMA have been re-energized.

In the comments to the post, there's a link to a map of funded startups, which is also interesting. Here's the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexmuse/6847577587/in/photostream/
