I would rather see these companies rated for success by a large pool of vetted 'judges'. Yes it's subjective, yes it's how they got into the TC40 to start, but it's a lot more useful than the monthly uniques, which can't even be accurately known by us. As long as the judges are careful not to associate blog press as success/promise, I think one could create an yearly rating for a large pool of companies and track the success of various conditions such as investors, awards, location, etc.
