# To-do: Name that stealthy Portland startup

It’s Friday. Isn’t it? It is right? I’ve kinda lost track of time.

What’s that? It is? Okay, great. In Portland, too? Okay, cool.

Ahem.

It’s Friday, so why not give yourself a little treat?

Ryan Williams of [NetworthIQ](http://www.networthiq.com/ "NetworthIQ") fame has a new project in the works. It’s stealth. *Super* stealth.

Well, that’s what I’m claiming, anyway. Because the project doesn’t have a name. And in my book, you can’t be much more stealth than that.

Worse yet? He doesn’t quite know what to call it.

So you get to help.

Exercise your inner-entrepreneur—or your outer one for that matter—by [swinging by Ryan’s blog, Web things considered, and placing your vote](http://www.webthingsconsidered.com/2007/09/07/help-me-name-a-new-site/ "Name that site"). Or suggesting a new name.

*\[Update\]* Ryan was nice enough to [drop by](http://siliconflorist.com/2007/09/07/to-do-name-that-stealthy-portland-startup/#comment-136 "Ryan comments") a provide [a link to the work-in-progress](http://localbuzz.webthingsconsidered.com/?city=portland "Local Buzz work in progress"). Might provide a little more inspiration for your vote.
