Seattle Startup Index for April/2008

    The list continues to grow and grow confirming Seattle as a hotbed for Tech startups. This month we have 10 new sites on this rank for a total of 282.

     There are some big changes coming for next month and I'm very excited about it, but I can't tell what it is. You have to subscribe to our feed (or through email) to learn about it.

    The biggest drops this month were Likewise (down 87), TagCow (down 43) and Lilipip (down 40). The biggest gains come from EfuRa, Sampa, Inrix, OwnYourPhone and Sawggle, all moving 17 positions in the rank.

    If you recall, this month includes the big change Alexa has made to its ranking algorithm on its history. This change normalizes the data, removing the bias that Alexa Ranking used to have towards tech-focused services and make it more of a mainstream tracker. Although, as we all know (or should know) Alexa and Compete are consistently bad on their stats, but it doesn't mean it isn't fun.

    Here is the list...

    Each website is associated a category (like WBC) and by that category, in parenthesis, is the index of that company inside that category, so "WBB (7)" means the site is ranked 7th on the WBB category. The categories are:

• WBC: Web-based consumer service
• WBB: Web-based B2B service
• WMO: Web-based service + Mobile component
• MOB: Primarily a Mobile service
• SW: Downloadable Software or other Software product
• HW: Hardware
   

* This list is called Startup Index, but is not really ranking startups. It's ranking their websites, and some companies have multiple websites, while others their website are not what matters (like in the case of Software or Mobile companies).
