After buying a pair boots online last week, I found myself searching social sites to get a better idea of a) what they looked like b) how people like them. This resulted in me realizing there isn't a great site which provides this service.

Great stuff... I'm working on a similar tool at the moment. Page load speeds were a bit sluggish for me. I'm guessing that's attributable to the large amount of javascript processing happening?

I was in the same boat. It made the platform unusable. That coupled with some of the worst and most apathetic customer support I have ever experienced, I swore to never go back.

E-TextEditor is pretty nice ( http://www.e-texteditor.com/ ). As a longtime Textmate user on my Mac, I was looking for something to mimic that functionality on my Windows netbook. E also integrates with Cygwin and can be fully customized to

For me, I run Ubuntu on my netbook. It's nice to run a similar editor when I'm away from my Mac.

We did this with Yaperture ( http://yaperture.com ), sort of. The costs associated with the buying and shipping of frames was way too high for the average consumer. So, we compromised and sold the photos with thick museum-quality matting.

Yongfook (founder of Open Source Food) does some nice work. His Sweetcron lifestream project ( http://sweetcron.com/ ) is pretty cool too.

I live in Brooklyn (Williamsburg) and I know there is a lot of start-up activity around me as well. It's easy to build a web app, but building a beautiful web app requires some incredibly artistic and design-conscious people which I think

Reddit started in Boston. Although, it may have originally been conceived in Charlottesville (back me up here Alexis?). Regardless, not a Brooklyn start-up. I'm down for NYC YC gatherings.

Agreed. I have been highly disappointed and unsatisfied with most of the tech meetups I have attended. The large majority of attendees I have met at the events are merely non-hackers with an "idea for a website."
