... Or harmful, depending on how much work is done maintaining it. I'd say the complete list is longer than you'd think, and if only a few are added to the page it will create a bad impression. You may also want to tighten the criteria because there are a lot of small, insignificant services that added a Bitcoin donation option.

Maybe a better way to make the trade list more valuable is to prune any defunct entries, and sort entries by decreasing importance. A new service founded on Bitcoin and growing to be better/larger than previously existing alternatives should be as visible as them.

As opposed to new business that sprung up and accept Bitcoin from day 1.

I believe it will much shorter than the [Trade wiki page](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Trade), and perhaps more valuable in a certain way.
