Even though Blue Dot was not mentioned in the recent Readwrite/Web roundup, Blue Dot looks like a #2 amongst the non-delicious social bookmarking sites.
Blinklist displays the highest alexa reach (not quite double Blue Dot's). Followed by BlueDot, Ma.gnolia, Simpy, and far below, Furl (I expect Furl has many more users than represented here - the nature of their site probably generates lower Alexa rankings).
Blinklist looks to be on a descending curve, while Blue Dot caught up to and passed Ma.gnolia in August. Simpy seems to be just plugging along at the lower level that Blue Dot was at last spring.
If you click over to Page Views, you'll see an interesting phenomenon - the top 4 sites seem to be converging to the SAME number of page views, with BlinkLists' decline being the most dramatic.

Marcelo's compiled the latest list of Seattle Web 2.0 companies sorted by (this month) the average of Alexa Rank and Compete data. In our experience, Compete seems way off on it's visitor estimates, so I prefer the pure Alexa ranking - despite the skewing to the tech audience.
I did a quick check of how the top 12 are doing in the US-only Alexa data (as opposed to international rankings). Blue Dot moves up to #6 (from #8 on International Alexa only).

John Cook gave us some link love so I will give some back.

We are holding steady at #7. My buddy Max at Wishpot is +14 for the month -- up to #47. Interestingly, if I put my home project InfiniteHoops.com (http://infinitehoops.com) in the list, it would be ahead of 40 companies at #115.

I want to try this now that I'm using FireFox more - I miss my Alexa toolbar.
