#2Whoever designed this didn't test to see what happens when you click on third row. You can't click most of the windows on the third row because the only spot where you can close them (top right corner) is being covered.

#3Seems to be some bugs... for example when I filter by 'selling data,' the only company that pops up is LinkedIn, but when I click on Google Docs, it says they make money in part by selling data. Cool concept though!

#4So... Groupon, which has already hitted the bottom and there are articles everywhere explaining how they are losing money, seems profitable. And Kickstarted, Grooveshark and Instagram which seem to be doing just fine, are not profitable... Somthing seems strange...(but I really wonder how Instagram makes money)

Groupon isn't going to give its (recent) investors a return on what they put in, but they've always been profitable; their overheads are tiny, and they take 50% of the revenue from each deal for themselves.
I have no idea how Grooveshark ever made or plans to make any money (heck, when I worked at last.fm we were celebrating our most successful year ever in which we'd only lost $1m. 5/6 of our income had come from advertising, and 5/6 of that from targeted ads, which IIRC Grooveshark doesn't do).
Kickstarter appears to be deliberately set up as a non-profit organization.

Yes, I too was blocked from further exploring by this bug. Why so much clicking? Wouldn't it be much better if the box with information simply appeared when mouse hovers over the circle?

I didn't know Kickstarter was a non-profit organization, I didn't find it on their website, would you mind pointing it to me?
For Groupon, for me a profit is making more money than you spend and as you said they keep 50% of each deal but then they have to spend money to pay everything and also need a lot of advertisement. Therefore afaik they have no actual profit, which would mean returning money to the investors.

I usually do not like mouse hover to popup but at least they should have made the background clickable to hide the popup.
