# Portland Start-up Index for August 2008: Metafilter, Digital Trends premiere in top 10

It’s that time again. Time for the [Techvibes Portland Start-up Index](http://techvibes.com/blog/portland-start-up-index "Techvibes Portland Start-up Index"), the monthly round up of Portland-area startup companies and products, ranked by the average of their Alexa and Compete rankings.

Admittedly a work-in-progress, the Portland Start-up Index often premieres “new” entries that have been—in actuality—heavy hitters for far longer than some of the “old” companies and products on the list.

This month’s list is a perfect example of that dynamic in action, as [MetaFilter](http://metafilter.com "Metafilter") ([July 1999](http://www.metafilter.com/archive.mefi "Metafilter archives")) and [Digital Trends](http://www.digitaltrends.com/ "Digital Trends") ([2001](http://www.digitaltrends.com/fact-sheet "Digital Trends founded in 2001")) premiere in the top 10 at [\#2](https://siliconflorist.com/tag/2/) and [\#5](https://siliconflorist.com/tag/5/) respectively.

So how did the rest of the startup scene fare this month?
