This morning's LocalTechWire mentioned the launch of Appubator - the 4th new Triangle-based tech incubator I've heard about in the past few months.  Did someone start an incubator incubator?

Appubator focuses on wireless app development, so at least it is a bit different.  Add it to the following list of old and new technology incubators in the Triangle:

• NC IDEA - which isn't really an incubator, but might as well (or should?) be.
• First Flight Venture Center
• Triangle Start-Up Factory - still raising funds
• Joystick Labs - still raising funds
• The rumored Relevance incubator
• Carolina LaunchPad
• UNC Kenan-Flagler's Launching the Venture
• Whatever equivalent "help students start companies" programs that exist at Duke and NC State.
• Whatever life sciences/materials incubators that probably exist, but I've never heard of.
