Unfortunately, I really think this is going to be a bust, just like the first time they tried to introduce Questions, for a few reasons. First, some people have a very impersonal friend network, meaning that they probably don't care about t

I have to admit that it is actually refreshing and enjoyable to see the YC application process come and go without being an applicant this time. I applied for the W'11 batch and was all I could think about was the application, the possibili

Thanks. :) Although from graduation til about December it was about what I wanted, I have definitely realized at this point that there are bigger priorities in life, and I am working on being responsible for those priorities.

And the collective of the YC W'11 hopefuls just let out a wistful sigh. At least I did.

The goal is to build a consistent, and eventually large audience, and the value of the site being access to that audience. Yes, you can host your content on Youtube, LinkedIn, Wordpress, or any number of CMSs, but you still have to find a w

Not to be brash, but just because you are spending $25 a day on ads and are making $300 a day, does not mean that formula is going to scale linearly upwards ($600 if you spend $50 a day, $1200 if you spend $100 a day). That said congratulat

We have not given up on the college degree idea yet, but we see it as a longer-term project in terms of setup, so we put it on the shelf while we were able to get this setup in a relatively quick order (a month). So no, we haven't given up,

Zazzle is a large custom t-shirt company. We do not make custom tees for people, we are our own brand that offers select designs created by artists around the world. If I was to compare us to an already established company, it would be much

Very good point. Doing that now. Thanks again everyone for the suggestions!

On the submission page, there is a large font link to the Submission Release form which answers any questions like that. ( http://www.invincibilitee.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=125 ) As long as it's just a submitted design (as in we have not

I don't know if you can edit the submission title, but the upcoming YC cycle is actually Winter 2011. I don't say this to be nitpicky, but when I first saw the title I was confused, and thought others might be as well.

>>> in each case above, there's a specific tight circle of connections I'd like to draw on, but they aren't always the same Which, presumably, does not include Ron Conway or Michael Arrington.

Isn't that line of thinking antithetical to the startup business as a whole?

I was in the same position as you a few months ago. I had an idea for YComb!, and I didn't know any technical guys well enough to be a technical co-founder, so I decided I was going to be the technical co-founder. I would recommend picking

I think resisting the urge to perfect the video is part of the same mindset as not using marketing lingo and buzzwords in the application. The entire YC application is about cutting the bullshit and being genuine. PG and the others don't wa

I have to say that I think the new logo is pretty terrible. It's obvious that they were trying to be clever, but the problem is that, in my opinion, the "space" is too weak of a space. The litmus test I use for a logo is to imagine that I w

Kind of reminds me of Dropbox's viral referral program. The spam-ish aspect can get annoying at a point, but the interesting thing is that it's not the website that's spamming you, it's your friends, so you can't really be mad at the websit
