Featured Text -- 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 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-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, 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.
