[[Image:ThePortlander.GIF|left]] ThePortlander.com was developed for Portlanders, by Portlanders to be a centralized site for all Portland and Oregon related news.  ThePortlander.com is similar to [[Digg.com|Digg]] and [[Newsvine.com|Newsvine]] except it has a local focus for the Portland, Oregon area.  Users can submit not only Portland or Oregon related news from other sites, but also post editorials, link to related blog posts, and publicise local events.  Like [[Digg.com|Digg]], readers vote on their favorite stories which ultimatly highlights the stories that Portlanders care about the most.

ThePortlander.com is not a replacement for other news web sites. Rather, it exists to point Portlanders to the news they care about the most.  Similar to other web 2.0 concepts, ThePortlander.com depends on local news organizations just as much as they depend on ThePortlander.com.

Blurb = ''It's amazing how quickly news can accumulate. Never mind just the news outlets like print and television, with blogs and other internet-base news mediums constantly pumping out up-to-the-minute reports of interest it's hard to keep up. Sure, sites like [[Digg.com]] help promote items deemed important by a global audience, but what about news for your area? In [http://wikitravel.org/en/Portland_%28Oregon%29 Portland, Oregon], we're lucky enough to have [[ThePortlander.com]] to fill this gap. Based on open source content management software, [[ThePortlander.com]] is a web application allowing users to submit news articles related to Portland that are then reviewed and promoted by other users in a [[Digg.com|Digg]]-style popularity system. New items sit in a "Just In" section until they've had a chance to be voted on; users can also see most popular items by today, yesterday, week, month or via a search. According to their website, [[TheKastnerGroup.com|The Kastner Group]], operators of [[ThePortlander.com]], have a few more projects "coming soon," so hopefully the idea will take seed and grow in other communities besides Portland.''
