Want to know what’s happening in the local tech scene?
Then you ought to pick up a bouquet or two of news over at Silicon Florist. From the one-month anniversary post:
I felt the local coverage of small technology startups was somewhat lacking. I mean, I could thumb through international coverage on sites like TechCrunch and Mashable for once-in-a-blue-moon postings on Portland-area companies. And, I could read about larger startups in The Oregonian.
But none of those was really hitting the mark. So I decided to quit being part of the problem. And I tried to do my little part to help solve it.
Well, Rick - your ‘little part’ has turned into a must-read for anyone who wants to tap into what’s really happening in the PDX tech scene. Thanks!

As always, your kind words and link-love are greatly appreciated. Even if they do make me blush.
Seriously, thank you. I’m glad to hear that Silicon Florist is serving a need. I mean, I read it, but it’s nice to know that other people do, too.
Oh my god, what a great domain name. That’s awesome! Great site too. Thanks for passing along the link Betsy!
I read Silicon Florist on a regular basis and think it’s great. It’s nice to see another writer taking an interest in the local Web scene.
