Portland is blessed with a number of interesting, intelligent people - all doing worthy (or wickedly unworthy yet intensely fascinating) ventures online.

We’re reading them, tracking them, and will be highlighting their efforts all through Our PDX Network. But we think you should be following them if you’re not already.

We also think you’ll want to get to know them - via Twitter, cool events tracked by the soon-to-be-birthed Calagator project, or on a social network none of us has even heard of yet (but we’ll keep our ears open, ok?)

And if we’re missing something? Please let us know via our contact form.
