Maybe your project just isn't interesting enough, or has little commercial potential.

  Tell that to twitter, instagram, or even youtube. A website where people can only type 140 characters at a time in a little box? Forget it. A mobile app that lets you take one picture and post it online? Been done already. A video sharing site that may never be legimately profitable? No way.

    Listen Patrick, maybe you're upset that you were rejected and that's why your lashing out. I don't know. I was rejected from YC last summer; in hindsight, the idea we had was garbage and we deluded ourselves into buying our own hype. You've bought into your own hype. I've been to your site, I have no idea what it does or why its useful. It looks like a bunch of wikipedia scraped articles thrown together. It doesn't solve any problems or make life easier or fun for anyone. Don't try to cite examples like Twitter or Youtube, they are freak chances and you CANNOT simply replicate patterns to success. So humbly, and as politely as I can say, I suggest you wake up and stop bullshitting yourself. Stop whining, step away from the computer, and either change your project or kill it.
