This came up in an email discussion with Rob last week and seems like one of those things that everyone’s got an opinion on, like what the acronym RSS expands to.
For my money Silicon Valley is:
- no further north than Menlo Park (this is perhaps the most contentious border, leaving out Redwood City and Redwood Shores, e.g., Oracle)
- east to Milpitas
- south from Los Gatos to south San Jose
- west from Menlo Park to Los Gatos
I used Google’s My Maps feature to create this illustrative map. Why don’t you post your own?
