I'm not big fan of the name (I would assume it's another node.js SaaS provider), but otherwise it looks like a great directory for node.js beginners.

Very newbie-oriented/general, but nice to have a place to point to to get people started.

Could use some user interaction on-site for discussing node; this would be a good place to showcase node based chat / social apps by integrating them into nodecloud.org

I finally had a chance to play with node over the weekend. First impression is that the library ecosystem is way bigger than I'd have thought and documentation is generally very well done.

Node really seems to have captured the imagination of a lot of people. I'm looking forward to using more libraries and building out the toy app I started.

Please dont use Alexa for ranking sites. Their numbers are almost always wildly inaccurate. The downside is there aren't many better alternatives.

I just picked up node recently and found this genuinely useful - for me at least, it doesn't matter if it's ranked in exactly accurate order or not.

In fact, I really wish I knew of more lists like this. Every time I start learning a new programming language, there's a period where I go shopping for useful sites and tutorials, usually resulting in a lot of wasted time with bad tutorials and unhelpful sites. If I knew of a one-stop ranking system like this, I would make use of it.

Just an idea, maybe allow people to login with Twitter, and add comments, and simply click 'I Like', and that score effects the position as well.
