About
Web Things Considered is a blog written by Ryan Williams, a web developer/technologist and entrepreneur in Portland, Oregon. My interests include web development, social media, startups/entrepreneurship, personal finance and Portland stuff. Contact me at rwilliamz@gmail.com or follow me on twitter.
As an internet entrepreneur, I find myself thinking up a lot of ideas for web apps. Some of these ideas have been launched to varying levels of success:
- VentureMash – Energizing early stage entrepeneurs
- LazyTweet – Social Search
- Local Signal – City based feed aggregrator
- NetworthIQ – Social Personal Finance
- Web 2.0 Innovation Map – Visual mapping of Web 2.0 startups around the world
If it isn’t clear yet, the web is my passion, and so I try just about any new shiny web site I come across. Some I love, others not so much. You can find me on these ones:
In the offline world, you can usually find me once a month at the meetings for the Portland Web Innovators, a group I helped found with Adam Duvander in early 2006, where we try to get the best Portland web minds from all disciplines (development, design, business) together and talk about what’s hot on the web and what the future holds.
