Is Vancouver a Legitimate Tech Hub?

[Klazu]

Why are people in here so eager to anticipate doom and gloom for Hootsuite? Sounds a bit like jealousy to me, since they are doing so exceptionally well in their area. I cannot see them having anything to worry about for a long time and their growth is definitely fueling also other start-ups in the area.

The news about 20 people being let go sounded just as a department being cut. When hiring so many people, you easily end up building some fat that you won't be needing after all...

And Twitter, they are not going anywhere. They might get a bit less media — going forward, but they have established a market that will always have its place. Difficult to see anyone (even Facebook or Google) trying to challenge them.
