Infographic: NYC Tech Scene No. 2 in Nation

New York City falls between San Francisco and Boston when it comes to cities with the most tech companies.

Watch out Silicon Valley -- New York City has become the city with the second-most tech companies, according to Fortune.

San Francisco is still far in the lead with 5,789 tech companies, but New York City left Boston behind with its 2,194 tech companies compared to 690. Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Mashable, LinkedIn, Google, Yelp, eBay and About.com all have offices in New York City, which also is a hot area for government technology -- startup accelerators and innovative programs sprout up constantly.

And in October, Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced that the city will pump $12 million into infrastructure for local businesses as a way to spur economic and technological development, so that number may increase into 2013.
