Ron Hornbaker created Alexaholic for the purpose of getting faster and flexible access data and traffic charts. Although the logos for Alexa and Alexaholic are strikingly similar, they are not affiliated with each other.

Alexaholic is dubbed as “Website traffic comparisons on steroids.” Chart comparison load times are very fast. Alexaholic is definetely a step-up from the original Alexa.com because it offers more chart producing options such as comparing a range of time from 7 days to 5 years and allows you to compare 5 domains. Alexaholic allows users to embed generated charts on their website by providing the HTML code as well.

This is an example of one of the more classic Alexaholic “mash-up” comparisons:

Its interesting how craigslist and friendster leveled off, but Orkut, MySpace, and Blogger have been growing intensely.

Another Alexa-related Web 2.0 application that was released earlier this year is Alexa Street. Although Alexaholic became viral a lot quicker, both of these concepts are unique and make using Alexa more fun.
