Isn't the Venice/Santa Monica area known as Silicon Beach? I was under the impression there were relatively many media related software jobs there.

I was just there 2 weeks ago and loved it. I like that area much more than some of the popular neighborhoods like SilverLake, etc.

It is.
Silicon Beach is used to refer to Los Angeles.
No, it’s generally considered to be the area west of the 405 from north of LAX to the Santa Monica mountains. Hundreds of tech companies, especially startups. (I work at one of them.)
Silicon Beach refers to the Westside of LA. Most tech in LA is located on the west: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Beach
