Thanks for the feedback so far. To answer a couple of things: #4, Joe, we're not out to compete with anybody here. As I said it's a value add feature for our site. $5 Joe, that's a good point. In evaluating it we decided there was enough interesting data in the widget to make it a good feature to have. But I take your point re the VC stuff perhaps not being so relevant for RWW. #8 gregory, see my reply to #4. I admitted it wasn't a unique thing in the post, but it's (we hope) a value add feature. - Richard from FriendFeed MT Plugin

I agree those widgets add value to any startup review, as I wrote here a few days ago: <a href="http://hyveup.blogspot.com/2008...">Crunchbase widget adds value to startup reviews</a> However, picking Tradevibes seems to be a choice by default, as, like it or hate it, Techcrunch truly is the Web 2.0 press center (RWW is more the Web 2.0 reflection center), and the challenge for a Web 2.0 directory is to be constantly connected to the ever-changing Web 2.0 industry. Good stuff though... - xavier vespa from FriendFeed MT Plugin
