It seems that the FastCompany.com site has lost ALL postings and comments for at least the last 10 days. I see postings ONLY dated FEB.

Also Group moderators are locked out.

Is anyone experiencing similar issues ???

Why is there such a high concentration of tech start-ups in Israel ?

The metrics are staggering - for a country with a population of 7 million and a mid-east locale the stats that surround Technology start-ups in Israel are quite a phenomena.

1.7 billion in VC investmens in 2007, a local VC industry with 10 Billion under management, private equity numbers probably match, most non-US country listed companies on NASDAQ and R+D centers of most of the Technology "brand names".
