Marcelo Calbucci from Sampa updated his list of Seattle startups for November. The list comes in at 210 members. Thought I'm not sure what criteria is used to filter minimum criteria, it's clear that aggregate traffic (and hopefully revenue) is growing, along with the depth and range of services.
I'm looking for a way to keep the list up to date, ideally automatically, and make it available for editing by companies who want to update their profiles. User feedback would also be great. One candidate to add this kind of service could be AboutUs or the TechCrunch company index. A database service like DabbleDB or Blist could also work.
Kudos to Marcelo for pulling this list together. Hoovers.com, now owned by Thompson, is a good source for this kind of data on public companies, but all companies should be in control of their own profiles. There's definitely a business opportunity here.
Marcelo posted an updated list for December. Here's the new link http://seattle20.sampasite.com/blog/Seattle-Startup-Index-for-Decemb.htm.
Looks like 3 new companies new to the list worth watching and in the top 15: SEOmoz, ActiveRain, and WidgetBucks.

Metaweb's Freebase is letting companies enter their info and makes it openly available for various uses. Just another thought.
