Thanks to our South Loop Chicago Paper.li - this infographic from Mozy grazed the headlines.  Also nice to see the South Loop featured in Forbes.
I especially like the notes added by Forbes about Chicago's South Loop.
The world’s largest data center sits in Gothic revival splendor just a couple of miles south of Chicago’s downtown Loop in a former R. R. Donnelly printing plant. I happened to walk past the center a year ago and was impressed by the scale of the building and the serenity of the setting: what is arguably one of the most important commercial hubs in the world, the second-largest electricity user in northeastern Illinois (behind only O’Hare Airport), sits silently near Lake Michigan against the edge of one of Chicago’s most beautiful historic districts.
Do you know Chicago had that kind of info-structure power? It's been said recently, Chicago is becoming a rising silicon city. Who would you say are our leaders in the tech space here in Chicago?
