New startups are born every day here in Startup Land. That’s why it’s so hard to keep track of all the rising stars. It used to be that if you knew a startup by name you could pretty easily figure out what their product/service did (think pets.com or OrderAhead.com).

Silicon Valley’s Second Most Famous Garage
If there is an epicenter for the folklore around people starting multi billion dollar companies out of their garage, Silicon Valley would surely be it.
