Poll: What do the positive Q1 results for Intel and Google mean for the tech industry?

We’ve been covering how larger US economic issues are affecting tech companies. Some of the biggest private web companies, like widget-maker Slide, have already raised tens of millions of dollars hoping to weather the storm. Others, like Meebo, are still in the process of raising large rounds. Most recently, do-it-yourself social network Ning just raised $63 million Series D round that we just covered today.

Meanwhile, today also showed strong earnings from two leading publicly-traded tech companies, search engine Google and chip manufacturer Intel.

So what is it, O dear readers? Are the good times gone for tech companies? Vote now.
