San Francisco -- A steady increase in U.S. venture capital funds spent on technical start-ups has caused concern of a second dot.com boom and bust, industry analysts said.
"I'm not saying Quora, Foursquare, Square aren't eventually worth a lot of money, but the price to pay to get into those games is kind of amazing -- $50 to $80 million?" said Dave McClure, a founding partner of venture fund 500 Startups, The New York Times reported Saturday.
McClure was reflecting on some of the big deals being made to jump in early at companies like Yammer, a company that developed a Twitter-like program for businesses and raised $25 million for expansion recently.

Boston -- A money-saving effort in Braintree, Mass., went awry when squirrels chewed through wires on lights strung on four of eight Christmas trees, officials said.
Mayor Joseph Sullivan said the city left lights on the trees on the town hall mall last year to save the cost of taking them down and putting them back up, The Boston Herald reported.
The Christmas lighting ceremony scheduled for Sunday has been postponed until Dec. 12. Braintree is part of the Greater Boston area.
"We will have Christmas lights on the town hall mall, despite the squirrels' desire to thwart Christmas lights in Braintree," Sullivan said.
New decorations have been ordered and should arrive next week, the mayor said.
