You did an amazing job, Aaron.
I couldn't be more proud of how you represented the Portland community in front of a who's who crowd of bloggers. And for me, it was truly an honor to be mentioned alongside all of the other great Portland folks who have made this community what it is today.
Thank you.
I think all anybody needs to know about how Twitter is integrating into the Portland Tech Scene is right there in the post: Your links to every PERSON you mentioned are their Twitter names. (:
Thanks for the plug. I like to point to http://siliconflorist.com/tags/lunch2.0as the "home" for our PDX chapter.
Great honor for you to speak out there, kudos. Thanks for remembering all the little people back here.
Thanks mentioning Beer and Blog! Sounds like we have Las Vegas on board for a chapter.
You forgot about Mugasha

There are lots of good things being developed that I didn't mention but I only had half an hour to talk and decided I'd focus on those projects that have had the most overall impact across the spectrum of Portland techies. Thanks for adding a comment and link – folks should definitely check out the project.
