#2FYI: For some reason, when I load the page, I see the Wordpress toolbar at the top. I can't do anything (like edit the post) since I'd have to login, but I still see the toolbar. It's a bit odd.

Agreed.

#4"Before Clustrix an entirely different kind of datastore, such as MongoDB, would be used. This requires developers to split up their data across multiple servers and use a map reduce algorithm in order to query across all the data."
Uhm, no.
Sharding is orthogonal to map-reduce, and you wouldn't use map-reduce on MongoDB or otherwise for anything OLTP. (MR on Mongo is SLOW)
Something that makes sharding easier/more automagic is nice though. I hate sharding anything that isn't Redis or MongoDB.

#6I don't understand; Clustrix (which rocks) isn't on the April index at all [1]. Is closing a round sufficient for it to debut at #5 for May? That doesn't seem very predictive.

They were #1158 (-4.72 momentum) in the April index, which measures the momentum of the company in the month rather than it's overall rank in a list. The YC Startup Index and overall momentum index are two different lists with different methodologies, but I'll work on making that more clear.
