I've finally put my finger on what's been rubbing me the wrong about these. Although these are mostly factual and non-sensational, they smack of cable-news disease. The sort of preoccupation with a continuous update that has people glued to news and stock tickers.
For some things, a stream of information is useful. But for this sort of stuff I feel it fosters a climate of more short term thinking and concentrating on the wrong things in the community at large.
In a year, releasing and examining these numbers is going to be really valuable. But right now, I feel like it's CNBC for Startups (hint: that's not a good thing).
