# Portland Start-up Index for March 2008: AboutUs retains top spot

It’s the 15th of the month again. And that means its time to update the [Techvibes Portland Start-up Index](http://www.techvibes.com/blog/portland-start-up-index-march-2008/ "Portland Start-up Index"). While there was neither much movement this month—the top 4 remain in the same positions as last month, with [AboutUs](http://aboutus.org "AboutUs") retaining the [\#1](https://siliconflorist.com/tag/1/) spot—nor, apparently, any new sites added to the index, I do find it interesting that two of the most newsworthy companies in the area, [Jive](http://jivesoftware.com "Jive Software") and [SplashCast](http://splashcast.net "SplashCast"), have actually dropped down the list one and two spots, respectively.

Given that the list changes month to month, here’s the ranking, for historical reference. To see the metrics and movement, please visit [Techvibes](http://www.techvibes.com/blog/portland-start-up-index-march-2008/ "Portland Start-up Index"). And, as always, I offer this with the “fruit salad” caveat: This is a very apples and oranges comparison, in terms of companies and products. The other caveat that bears mentioning is that widget- and mobile-based tools often report far lower Alexa and Compete numbers than Web-based services.
