That idea is great indeed, similar to TC but every one can chose what to use.

Yet, still lot of bugs to fix

I’m pretty sure they outsourced it to India or Russia and told them: “We would like a website that takes information about a URL from other website and aggregates them”

Then they said “OK sir we understand what you would like and are confidents we can do it outstanding. Which features would you like? We fully suuport data transport protocols.”

Then KillerStartUps said: “Look, just make a site exactly like this: [QuarksBase]”
“make a site exa: [quarkbase]”

What they got was really shotty. I typed in “http://www.google.com” and got, well, see for yourself: http://dataoped.../www-google-com

Ok, ask for a URL, but fail with “http://”. Also, randomly fail and show your API key. That’s cool too. And when I click “report adult” for an image thumbnail, I get this gem of a message: “Thank your!
We are going to evaluate your suggest.”

Um… ok.

These guys are on to something but they’re doing it wrong, and hopefully will continue on their paths for a few months while I crush them with my upcoming application.

Avid reader? Killer startups seems to just be a press release blog, and I doubt that there is an editor reading anything. Every once in a while they’ll run a press release for a company that doesn’t exist – I’ve hit numerous link farms off of their “stories.”

Touchy much? I don’t look down on TechCrunch. I read it every day. Not sure why you have to attack me for my opinion.

The reason Alexa was so popular is because Amazon pushed it. When you got dollars, you get eyeballs. I assume since you are attacking me that you think Alexa data is the way to go? How is Alexa toolbar users an accurate representation of the internet population?

I like Quantcast. They let sites actually install tracking code for direct measurement. The others are sketchy at best, that is, of course, you are a very large site with mass appeal with lots of traffic data available. For this mid-size to small sites out there, this data doesn’t allow you to do much with it, because it isn’t accurate if you compare it to data from Google Analytics, for example.

Very useful informations, but when you looking for nonexisting domain return 404 page (that default, really ugly, 404 page)

Brian,

You are right. That´s why TechCrunch isn’t so popular, and nobody knows Alexa. You probably have bigger projects.

By the way, they also offer Compete and Quantcast too. Big guys with big projects like you, that look down on TechCrunch, Alexa and Dataopedia, should know about them, and should pay more attention.

Nice service. It’s definitely useful and has some very cool features. I currently use SiteRapture (http://www.siterapture.com), TradeVibes (http://www.tradevibes.com), and Crunchbase (http://www.crunchbase.com) to get information on websites / online services.

Awesome! I’m a fan of KillerStartups, even though one of my projects (yonkly) is closesly retlated to Twingr.

Really? I think any site that relies on Alexa data should be deadpooled automatically. Aren’t we passed the point where Alexa has any validity in regards to real metrics?

I find it hard to believe TC covered this site.

Just gave it a cursory glance so maybe I missed it, but I wish there was a way to flag outdated information or suggest additional information. Our multimedia section, especially, is sorely out of date.

I do like the “online” section, it’s a nice addition to the stats. Their access methods are cool, but they are going to have to get their data in line and tackle the apparent bugs before I’m going to want to access it through twitter, or any other way.
