Faves dropped a point (still in the top 10) on the Seattle Startup index. The main cause is a much reduced amount of search engine traffic coming to our site. After changing our domain name from bluedot.us to faves.com, Google (and other search engines) take some time to build up the "credability" of the site and start directing people to the new domain.
Hopefully, it's a temporary glitch and our traffic will ramp up over the next couple of months.

Very cool blog that covers official Seattle Police Reports. They also have a real-time police scanner you can listen to over the internet.
Quoted: There are 8 million stories in The Emerald City. We cover the interesting ones.

Tony's really good blog post about bootstrapping the financing of a web 2.0 startup. I like his definition of the 3 milestones your company has to reach.

Quoted: For many years a number of our servers have been housed in a facility operated by Level(3) Communications located in a building owned by the Seattle Times. The facility was once state-of-the-art but has, over the years, suffered due to customer growth and limited power and cooling capacity.

The SSI formerly known as "December" (now called November SSI since it is based on data during the month of November).
This one has updated Compete data - and removes the duplicate entry for Faves.com.
Note that we've fallen in the index compared to where BlueDot.us was last month - this may be reflecting the fall-off in search engine traffic since we have a new domain name.

You must be Mike's friend before you can comment on this Fave.Faves.com also seems to be 81st
I hadn't noticed that. Looks like bluedot.us and faves.com rankings on Compete are not merged - so he shows us listed both ways...
