Popurls was launched by Thomas Marban back in March of 2006 and since then has been dominating the world of “single page aggregators”. Other sites have been copying the structure of Popurls, such as Alltop and others, but nothing can really compete at the moment.

Of course our link isnt at the top of the Popurls site, but we have been featured in the “quickies” section, along side Techcrunch, Techmeme, Centernetworks and ReadWriteWeb. This is a great honour for our site and just goes to show that hard work and producing good content can actually get you somewhere.

Go2Web20.net is a web directory of everything web 2.0. From Advertising to Widgets, Go2web20.net has it all there for you to find. The site is setup in a unique style which allows a user to browse the logos of all the startups or even drill down by category.

KillerStartups is a startup directory that is updated daily. The site is based around a blog style format in which users can vote up startups to put them at the top of the tree. Killerstartups shows very basic information about each site, but seems to show too many Google ads and also only premium members can see more specific data.

SimpleSpark has to be one of the sexiest directories around! The site is very easy on the eye and has a lot of features to match. One of the key issues is that you have to register to be able to add a startup to the directory, hmm 10 min of your time. However, as the registered users grow, so does the interactions on the site.

Tradevibes has to be the newest directory on the block. They aim to provide indepth information on startups from all over the world, all on a free basis. The majority of this service comes from the users or company owners themselves, but there is still minor inputs from Tradevibes direct. Look out for Tradevibes to become the major player in this market.

CrunchBase is one of the products in the Techcrunch stable. Crunchbase is a wiki based tool that divulges information from some of the world technology startups. CrunchBase is the free directory that anyone can edit, currently however it is closely moderated by the Techcrunch team.

CenterNetworks Company Index is our final product in this list. CenterNetworks is a growing technology weblog that is dedicated to profiling technology news and issues. Allen has added a nice feature to his drupal based site, which shows a list of basic companies. Once a user has selected a company it only shows the most recent posts, which is a tad disappointing.

Yahoo Podcast is a basic podcasting search, directory and listening service, which launched back in October 2005.

Marshall over at RWW notes, “Some would argue that podcasting hasn’t caught on like it was expected to, that it’s been dominated by existing media giants and beaten as a medium by the rise of video. I still love me a good episode from ITConversations, Briefings Direct or our own new show Read/WriteTalk when I’m walking the dog – but Yahoo! users looking for podcasts will soon have to look elsewhere.”

As mentioned by Techcrunch there are a few other podcast directories struggling at present. For example Odeo, which was acquired from investors, then sold, then acquired another directory called FireAnt.

However, the quote of the day for Yahoo is from Allen Stern over at CenterNetworks when he stated that he didnt argee with Marshall (RWW) and the real reason the Yahoo Podcasts are close is that the “The Damn Thing Never Worked!“
