Very nice. Throw some charts and graph up in this bitch, compare against time for popularity. I like data.

Mash it up with Crunchbase (?) and see if there is any meaningful correlation between stack and funding rounds, stack and IPO, stack and aquihire, ...

Would die to see this. OP get on it.

In all seriousness, I would PAY to see this. I would pay extra if you add hosted graph widgets that empirically conclude the largest reciprocal relation between valuation and an IIS/MSSQL stack.

I assumed you would pull the javascript embedded in the target sites along with DNS records to see what services they are using. But where do you get Anyperks data from? Are you manually adding this? [EDIT to make more PC]

They're manually adding this data.

Getting a lot of 503's, please fix the problem. Seems another website not being able to handle HN 1st page traffic.

Sorry everyone. Just switched to nearlyfreespeech, thought they could handle it. Trying to work through it now.

Try cloudflare?

OK. But why did I get a down vote for that? My point is there are probably more optimal ways to add the data than manually gathering it. Nice effort though, of course.

Many of these companies are not "startups" anymore. Fir example, Ebay ?

well most of them are startups.

I usually make more sure than 'most of x is y' before I claim certain things. This is just hipsterism. Ebay, LinkedIn, Mozilla? Are you kidding?

While in New York I went to some networking events where people said 'I work for a startup', 'How long have you guys been around?', '4 years', 'That doesn't really sound like a startup.', 'I know, but we FEEL like a startup.'... A*holes.

When do you cease being a startup?
