# Silicon Florist’s links arrangement for March 14, 2008

Sometimes, a link says more than I could ever say. Here are some fragrant little buds I’ve found recently, courtesy of ma.gnolia.

#### [SXSW: A “Noob” With a View – Media Bullseye](http://mediabullseye.com/mb/2008/03/sxsw-a-noob-with-a-view.html)

A little Silicon Florist egosurfing, again. This time, my write-up on SXSW for Media Bullseye.

#### [Portland Small Business updates its look](http://www.portlandsmallbusiness.com/)

Well, I kinda put the whole message in the subject line there, didn’t I? Check out the latest version of Portland Small Business.

#### [OTBC: FastTrac TechVenture Information Session](http://entrepreneur.meetup.com/1041/calendar/7526613/)

Steve Morris writes “If you are thinking about starting a high-tech or biotech company (or you already are in an early-stage startup), come to this brown-bag lunch event to learn about how the FastTrac® TechVenture program can help you succeed.”

#### [ExpressionEngine 2.0 Preview](http://expressionengine.com/ee2_sneak_preview/)

I wrote up a quick piece on Bend-based EllisLab’s demo of the new version of ExpressionEngine. But, with a picture being worth a thousand words and whatnot, this video probably does it better justice than my write-up.

#### [Jive Talks: Millions of downloads for Openfire and the Ignite Realtime products](http://www.jivesoftware.com/community/blogs/jivetalks/2008/03/13/millions-of-downloads-for-openfire-and-the-ignite-realtime-products#)

Jive’s Matt Tucker writes, “We recently saw our Openfire downloads counter hit seven digits worth of downloads. The Openfire project is close to my heart and I first want to extend a sincere congratulations to my incredible team for developing the project into one that has hit 1 million downloads. Now the family of Ignite Realtime products have hit a collective download total of 3 million.”

#### [Twiddla](http://mrgan.tumblr.com/post/28773210)

Neven Mrgan writes “So, this is the project we went to SXSW with (more on that whole trip later). I’m the designer/UI dude. We’re just getting started, but we’ll try not to get too Beta on you. Nobody likes that. Jump in now, check it out, send a bug report. And don’t forget, we love you.”

#### [SplashCast First to Launch on MySpace Platform](http://blog.splashcastmedia.com/?p=36)

SplashCast CEO Mike Berkley writes “Without a lot of fanfare, MySpace launched their Developer Platform today. SplashCast is one of only a few developers launching applications on day one — which was also the case with Facebook’s platform launch in May of 2007. Mashable, Centernetworks, SiliconFlorist, and TechVibes all covered our MySpace launch today.”

#### [DrupalCampPDX](http://groups.drupal.org/node/9766)

Grant Kruger writes “So we are having our DrupalCamp on May 10th. One hell of a crowded meeting last night, so clearly DrupalCampPDX is something we as a group are excited about. Folks came from other parts of Oregon too, including one from Eugene, a sure sign that it’s going to be a statewide event at the very least.”
