I’m always a fan of Portland related things on the interwebs. Here’s a site I found today called “Our PDX Network” which looks like it’s worth a read, or at least a blog post. đ

Yes, itâs another local Portland, Oregon group blog.
Why?
After all, canât people subscribe to the local blogs they want to, creating their own personal patchwork quilt of voices? Canât they network on Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn – or in person at events run by the very cool Legion of Tech folks, for example? Arenât there already enough local PDX group blogs out there?
Nope, there arenât. Or maybe weâre just egotistical enough to think thereâs room enough for our blog – alongside efforts by local print media like the Portland Mercury or Willamette Week, nestled up next to Portland is Awesome and Portland Food and Drink and Bike Portland and Silicon Florist and Blue Oregon and, yes – the Metroblogging Portlands of the world.
See, we read everyone elseâs stuff. And we think you should, too. Thatâs why weâll be talking about all of the other excellent local sites out there – telling you what youâve missed, shooing you over to read their inside scoops instead of trying to regurgitate them ourselves. Talking up the activity on networks like Twitter, on events like Lunch 2.0.
But weâll also be offering up our own unvarnished view of life in Portland – warts and all. Weâll be asking you for your opinion, your insights, and pointers to those sources you canât live without (you can share them with us via our new Mag.nolia group, for starters.) Or weâll be recounting conversations we might have had with you in person at the neighborhood farmerâs market, or at that evening meeting.
And since we come from a variety of backgrounds and donât all share the same interests, we can promise you a slice of life you may not always see in your RSS reader or in your neighborhood.
In a nutshell? Weâll be interesting. Informative. Provocative. Collaborative. And, most importantly, interested in creating conversation. With you. (Yes, you.)
And if weâre not? Interesting and/or informative, orâŚ
Weâll settle for pointing you over to something else that better meets your sensibilitiesâŚ!
