Silicon Florist

Silicon Florist is a blog focused on covering news about small technology startups and blogs--organizations which may often fall below the radar of traditional media--in the Portland, Oregon, area. It was started by Rick Turoczy in 2007.

New Feature: Job Postings

On March 21, 2008, Silicon Florist introduced a job and gig board designed to give startups an affordable venue to advertise available positions. For more information, visit the post introducing the Silicon Florist gig board.

Submitting companies, products, services, blogs, and events

Portland-based companies--or individuals--interested in showcasing their development efforts are invited to send tips, press releases, links, blog entries, and recommended RSS feeds to Silicon Florist.

AboutUs coverage

News on AboutUs.org excerpted from the website:

Ted Ernst writes “An idea came up in the office today that seems to be worth sharing. What if someone else decided to start an article writing service where the articles would appear on AboutUs.org? Would we care? Of course we would care. We would think it’s great!
April 3, 2008
On short notice, the AboutUs team is partnering with some Portland, Oregon area wiki enthusiasts for a WikiWednesday event also tomorrow at 6:30. The event will be held at the new AboutUs office at 107 SE Washington St, Suite 520, Portland OR 97214. We’re planning on having the usual social meetup fair with the hopes of organizing a BarnRaising to build out some articles for WikiHow.com — a cool wiki that’s a source of “how-to” information. If you’re in the Portland area you’re warmly invited to drop by and join in the fun. We’ll also try to monitor the AboutUs IRC channel at irc://irc.freenode.net/WikiWednesdayPortland so that people in other locations can maybe “drop by” as well.
