  GigaOM » Is Social Media the New Hollywood or the new Pittsburgh?
When Alexander Graham Bell demonstrated his new invention, the telephone, for the first time publicly in 1876, he didn’t announce the birth of a new age of ubiquitous electronic person-to-person communications.
As I get pitched by hundreds of new social media ventures, there seems to be an increasing disconnect between what they say is their vision vs. the platforms that are actually being built.
Hollywood is very different from Pittsburgh, and the factors that drive the health and prosperity are highly specific to each.

  New Hollywood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In this ten year period, Hollywood was overrun by a new generation of film school-educated, counterculture-bred actors, writers, and, most importantly, directors.
The New Hollywood came crashing down with the release of Star Wars in 1977 and Jaws in 1975.
Whereas the films of the New Hollywood typically emphisized character and story, the blockbuster mentality focused on high-concept premises, with greater concentration on tie-in merchandise (such as toys), spin-offs into other mediums (such as soundtracks featuring original music by popular stars or television a series based on the film), and numerous sequels.

Hollywood is a district of the city of Los Angeles, California, U.S.A., situated northwest of Downtown.
Hollywood was incorporated as a municipality in 1903.

 The Hollywood Blacklist
The investigation of Hollywood radicals by the House on Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in 1947 and 1951 was a continuation of pressures first exerted in the late 1930s and early 1940s by the Dies Committee and State Senator Jack Tenney's California Joint Fact-finding Committee on Un-American Activities.
The result was bad press for Hollywood and a feeling by producers that their radical writers were vying with the committee for sensational headlines at the industry's expense.

 On the Decline of the New Hollywood and the Prescience of Network
Hollywood was redirected and, as a result, American cinema entered a new age – an age when box-office success did not necessarily preclude sophisticated content in a movie, an age when political discourse was not relegated to non-existence or tokenism, or a niche-market.
When Howard Beale (Peter Finch), the ageing news anchor for Union Broadcasting System, is fired due to poor ratings, he announces to his friend and network executive Max Schumacher (William Holden) that he intends to “blow my brains out, right on the air, right in the middle of the 7 o'clock news” (4).
The dumbing-down of the news, from informative to entertaining (“television is showbiz”, says Christensen to Schumacher) is prescient of the rise, in the late 20th century and early 21st, of infotainment.
