I'm inclined to add them to "technology" or possibly "e-commerce". Or, if we're going to make a new category, it would be "security", but I'd want to find another company to list with them.

It looks to me like Rambler, anyway, is properly speaking a media company; it just happens to publish on the Net. > add them to "technology" or possibly "e-commerce".

I don't see a strong reason to require more than one company in a category before adding it. Vidoop's description on their home page puts them pretty squarely in the application security business.

Thoughts? Hmm. I would like us to highlight web-focused companies a bit more, so that when a web developer looks at that page they think, "People like me are using PostgreSQL". What about "Web Service" as a category? Flightstats would then fall into that category. I just threw Internet out there after having a very brief chat with Josh Berkus. -selena -- Selena Deckelmann United States PostgreSQL Association - http://www.postgresql.us PDXPUG - http://pugs.postgresql.org/pdx Me - http://www.chesnok.com/daily
