I'm curious why there isn't a place on HN where we can see the startups for each of the classes including their web site, industry, a description of their service, etc.

I know there are a few resources online, but they don't seem to be kept completely up to date. Personally, I love reading about the startups and would prefer to have that information made available here in an organized fashion than having to read about them on TC or elsewhere.

Anyway, no apologies necessary for me! :)

They likely do not have a page because each startup needs to go out and develop an audience, work at it. Try to solve problems and become popular that way. Also by not listing the startups, it makes it more mysterious. This way if a lot of startups fail, it is not like there is a list on the site or that they suddenly disappear, it would look bad. Better to celebrate success then mourn the losses.
Good points for past classes, but I don't see the harm in listing the current class. On the other hand TC seems to cover them, so I'll lower my hand now :)
It's an early start (I hesitate to even talk about it here since it's such early days), but I put together Seed-DB (http://www.seed-db.com) for all accelerators; YC and all the rest.

I'm a day or two behind on updates because of work travel, but should catch up soon.

Bookmarked! Thanks for putting that together, great work.
