 | Last login: 5 days agoRick is a 37 year old married guy from Portland, Oregon, USA. I spend a great deal of my free time keeping an eye on the startup tech scene in Portland, Oregon, and throughout the Silicon Forest.
Because of that, most of my stumbling will be fairly techie. But, then again, I've always got a thing for great design, too. |

- The Fall of Vidoop | FactoryCity
- Jun 5, 5:10pm (1 review) management, vidoop, openid http://factoryjoe.com/blog/2009/06/05/th...
- When I was laid off from Vidoop last month, I didn't so much as tweet about it. The circumstances were different this time. But because the lack of information coming from the company is disappointing (if not frankly irresponsible) it seemed time that I wrote down my recollection of what went down.
