Introducing: We Are Boston

Being from Boston and in the technology community, I always wanted a way to connect with fellow Locals within technology, photography, film and others. Sure - we have Twitter, Facebook, and Meetup groups - but I wanted to create a simple social community that people could add themselves and show of their talents. I envisioned some like a huge billboard of Boston-area experts showing their talents and the link to their work.  And thus - weareboston.org was born.

With weareboston.org, you can add your self to the community, and tag yourself with what you do best and then set your location. Then you can browse the site for other local and perhaps even strike up a partnership or hire them to do a gig. It's all about showing the world the level of talent in Boston.

The idea of this site came from my friend, Tim Mather who got it from Chris Kalani, the original creator of the version of this site for Portland, WA (prtlnd.com). There is also a version for Nashville, TN (nshvll.org) and soon a version for Los Angeles ,CA.

So go check out http://weareboston.org and add yourself to help build the technology community of Boston!
