Yes, once you installed virtualbox and our command line tool, stkr, a virtual machine will be downloaded automatically and a stack of your choice will be set up locally.
How will this work? It sounded like a user could just build a custom VM image and send it to you. There wouldn't be a way to deploy that to heroku, right?
Are you doing sort of a blended app hosting/cloud offering?
Have you seen the dotcloud "build files" for specifying services? I wonder if trying to encourage standardization among cloud/app hosts on a service specification file like this would be beneficial, similar to Gemfile/Procfile/etc.
I don't think you did a good job of disclosing or the problems that might lie in the data.
Since I've been following crunchbase both from the data perspective and from the perspective of how much resources TechCrunch is devoting to it, I can assure you it varies wildly.
Also the editorial policy has changed a lot in that period, in about 2007/2008 they started putting much more emphasis on international start-ups. So there are specific skews that you should be aware of and disclose them in the blog post.
So I think you did a nice job, but conclusions are not to be trusted at tall. Yes it might be the most well-maintained open data out there, but it does not make it in any more useful for this kind of analysis.
