# Vidoop execs to be profiled in The Oregonian

[![Vidoop](https://i0.wp.com/siliconflorist.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/imgvidoop.gif?w=925)](http://vidoop.com "Vidoop")It’s no secret that I started [Silicon Florist](http://siliconflorist.com "Silicon Florist") as a way to shine a spotlight on the Web startups in town who—for whatever reason—don’t get the proper attention from the local or national media.

There’s cool stuff happening here. And stories that need to be told.

And when the traditional media starts taking notice—like when [Oregon Business Magazine covering local Web 2.0 startups](http://siliconflorist.com/2008/06/27/portland-web-20-startups-get-some-love-from-oregon-business-magazine/ "Portland Web 2.0 in Oregon Business Magazine")—that makes me happy. Because, quite frankly, these folks deserve the recognition.

And now, I have some more good news of the traditional media taking notice. I think. At least I hope.

For [in a recent post on OpenID](http://blog.oregonlive.com/siliconforest/2008/07/techcrunch_sez_myspace_will_jo.html "TechCrunch sez MySpace will join OpenID"), Mike Rogoway of [The Oregonian](http://www.oregonlive.com/oregonian/ "The Oregonian") and [Silicon Forest blog](http://blog.oregonlive.com/siliconforest "Silicon Forest blog") mentions:

> Meet [Vidoop](http://vidoop.com "Vidoop")‘s bosses in tomorrow’s Oregonian.

Just a passing mention. But, hopefully, the precursor to some real coverage for one of the most forward thinking companies in town.

I’ll be sure to hit the newsstand tomorrow, in hopes of seeing some decent ink on Vidoop.

*\[Update\]* And here’s the article from [The Oregonian, “Coffee Break: Vidoop’s bosses.”](http://www.oregonlive.com/business/index.ssf/2008/07/coffee_break_vidoops_bosses.html "The Oregonian Vidoop bosses")
