I think Silicon Valley has both broad and narrow meanings. The broad meaning mostly applies when mass-market magazines or people from the East Coast are speaking. But from where I sit in SF, the Valley is that area down south where the big boys have their big campuses, and all that.
Of course, when I go home to Mississippi and folks say I'm living in or otherwise associated with Silicon Valley, I don't correct them. Close enough that it's not worth being a smartass.
