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.

Latest Seattle Startup Index is out. I Can Has Cheesburger slots in at #5! Faves moves back into the top 20 (15 by Alexa-only rank).

Startup Weekend going on at Adobe offices this weekend. I'd like to at least stop by for a peek.

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.

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.

Roy is helping Sampa with a new redesign. I love how Marcelo can sling code around - he predicts chucking 60 thousand lines of code (KLOC) and adding 40 KLOC - and that it will take him 8-10 weeks (5 KLOC per week)

Marcello's updated Seattle Startup Index. Blue Dot is up a couple slots - now in the "top 10". By Alex rank only, we'd rank #8.
I'd love to get good data for "time on site". That's probably the best measure of value for any web service.
By Google Analytics measure, our users spent a total of over 14,000 hours in the last month. I wonder if we can correlate Alexa data to time-on-site?
