It should be noted that pandodaily.com didn't turn down investor money:

"I’ve also raised a bunch of cash from some of the people I respect most in the industry. This includes: Marc Andreessen, Peter Thiel, Tony Hsieh, Zach Nelson, Andrew Anker, Chris Dixon, Saul Klein, Josh Kopelman, Jeff Jordan and Matt Cohler, all investing as individuals. Also investing are a handful of seed funds including the CrunchFund, Greylock Discovery Fund, Accel’s Seed Fund, Menlo Ventures Talent Fund, Lerer Ventures, SV Angels and Ooga Labs."

That makes their site suspect IMO. I probably would have done the same but I am willing to bet my last dollar that they'll be nicer to start-ups funded by their funders. And yes, I've read the declarations of impartiality.
