Avvo – under the cover

June 27th, 2007 by Sendi Widjaja, CTO

It’s been a little over 3 weeks since Avvo has launched and I’m happy to say that our site has been up and stable throughout this period and able to handle the initial traffic spike. I would like to take this opportunity to shed some light on how we’ve built Avvo.

Avvo is built from ground up mostly using the latest open source technologies; we are primarily Ruby on Rails shop running on top LAM (Linux, Apache, MySQL).

I want to thank the communities for providing such wonderful products. Without them, we could not build our site as quickly and effectively as we have. And of course, over time, we will contribute to the communities and help them grow.

Cheers!
Sendi Widjaja, VP of Development

Seattle Web 2.0 Startup Traffic Rankings

June 22nd, 2007 by Justin Chan, Avvo Development Team

I’m a daily reader of John Cook’s venture blog over at the Seattle PI. One of the recent posts details how a reader,
Marcelo Calbucci of Sampa, ranked all Seattle Web 2.0 startups by Alexa ranking. I thought this was fascinating so I wrote a version that updates daily.

The script looks for companies which have enough traffic to get an Alexa ranking. The “Alexa 30d” column is a rolling 30 day average of that ranking. The “change” columns reflect the changes from the last time the page was updated. Since this page will update daily, the columns effectively mean “change from the day before”.

Feel free to bookmark this page to check up on how Avvo and other Seattle companies are growing on a daily basis! And if I missed a company (that is a startup in Seattle with enough traffic to get an Alexa rank), please leave me a comment and I’ll add it when I get a chance.

- Justin, Avvo Development Team

Avvo – The site that Phở built

June 11th, 2007 by Ben VandenBos, Software Design Engineer

On a lighter note…

I would like to personally thank PhoCyclo for making this site possible. Without this restaurant there is absolutely no way we could have had enough sodium… err phở in our systems to get this thing out the door.

I tip my hat to you, PhoCyclo.
