http://hnfluence.comhttp://influentialtimes.comI started working on this idea a few hackdays ago, particularly at the bitly hackday, then kept playing with it at the nyhacker hackday and most recently at the NYT hackday this past weekend. What the site(s) basically does is pull a list of links[1] then using the url, queries a bunch of other api's for stats. All this happens asynchronously in nodejs, results are stored in an array and then shipped out to the client as json. The primary feature I wanted before being comfortable showing it was sorting by the various metrics. Both sites run off one $20/month 512mb virtual machine hosted with linode[2]. More details in a blog post at some point,

The company sits in the show hn launch segment, where it competes on its core product or service.

Its current recorded stage is Show HN launch.
