Pursudo is the #53 startup in Toronto!

From the totally strange department: I was just alerted to The Toronto Startup Index which apparently ranks Toronto-based technology startups based on their traffic rankings. As a general rule, I don’t pay any attention to indexes OR page rankings, because these numbers are subjective and easily gamed.

However, I officially love this index, because it lists Pursudo (a fun weekend project we did several years ago as a way to demonstrate the endless pageless pattern I wrote up) as the #53rd most popular startup in Toronto.

This blows my mind! The project is dead in every possible context (I didn’t realize it was still running) but also our follow-up “fun project” Looking Real Good got a lot more publicity and traction, and it didn’t make the list. And for good reason; neither of these sites qualify as a startup.

I think this is my cue to set up a listing on eBay, so that we can capitalize on our success. I smell a liquidation event!
