Silicon Florist
Silicon Florist was started by Rick Turoczy in 2007. He remains the primary contributor. A number of local guest authors have published pieces through the blog, as well.
Silicon Florist reddit
In an effort to provide additional exposure to Silicon Forest blogs and resources, Turoczy started the Silicon Florist reddit, a service based on reddit that allows users to submit and vote for content.
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. After testing the service for several months, the job postings board was closed.
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.
