The Wikimedia Foundation, the parent organization of the Wikipedia online encyclopaedia, is moving its headquarters from Florida to Silicon Valley.

The organization cited San Francisco's broad offerings of "best-in-breed online talent, top-tier universities, world-class support services and major media" as reasons for the move. The area also is closer to Asia, which will bring "closer ties with volunteers and potential partners in that part of the world".

Talent, educations and support happen to some of the traditional strong points of Silicon Valley. Access to venture capital and one of the world's most desirable climates happens to be another one.

Well, and the fact that Wikipedia wants to be closer to the Silicon Valley Sleuth blog… let's just say that we've been going on a natural high for several hours.
