PortlandTech Portland is extremely well-represented on Twitter, the popular micro-blogging platform. The following is a list of some of the most interesting citizens in the Portland Twitterverse. Feel free to follow them, ask them for advice, or run into them at the many local Portland Tech Events. Template:TOCRIGHT You can also click your name and edit the Wiki page about yourself. Or click on someone else's and edit theirs. The goal is to have a list of all of the Portland Tech Tweeple. You may also want to add a link to the domain page about your website and then edit that page.

Please add listings in alphabetical order by twitter handle. For example, if your Twitter handle is @MadDog3000, add yourself under 'M' regardless of what your real name is. Please try and use WikiLinking whenever possible.

Need more direction? Here is a blog post about how to add yourself to PortlandTechTwitter.
