I'm very proud to run an ATL startup, and from the article it sounds like there are many others who feel the same way.

Starting a "new business" does not equal starting a startup (at least in terms relevant to News.YC)

As am I, but honestly I had no idea about the startup activity here. Are there any meetings where founders get together and such?

As a job seeker, I'd expect a city with super-high startup activity to have its /eng/ section on craigslist flooded with job ads. It isn't.
