I would think they could raise more based on that traffic growth. I wonder if that implies anything about actual revenue generation prospects.

CellarTracker will likely never get mentioned at TechCrunch, because it is not sexy enough for one lone entrepreneur to build a profitable business without seeking millions of investor dollars. (And 500,000 unique visitors per month.) This is an exciting space, and with CellarTracker I have focused a lot more on collectors versus shoppers. That said, a lot of these site are converging around some of the same scenarios. It will be fun to watch it play out. Thanks, Eric LeVine -CellarTracker.com B Ross, thank you for the kind words.
