I applied, just today. It was a last minute thing. I didn't want to push my launch to September, but realized that I can release a private beta while waiting for the results in August. If selected, it's a one month delay and it's worth it because I would get publicity that I can't get otherwise.
I'm not YC-funded. If you're curious, my startup is in my profile.
Plus, I just read a post here yesterday about the benefits of collecting a lot of emails to announce the launch to; and I like that strategy.

- benhoyt 19y agoJust a bit of feedback for your ziizo demo site. A bit off-topic, but I didn't see contact details on your site (I reckon you should show your email or at least a contact form). A like the name -- short and easy to remember. Nice clean/simple looking site. Nifty idea to not have a search button at all. Just wondering about "adapots to your needs". Adapts? Also, the demo site was a little sluggish, even just to show the Login page. I don't think it was my end.
- waleedka 19y agoThanks for the feedback. I added the contact email. The sluggishness is probably due to the flash videos on the home page. Not sure how to get around that. I'll think of something. Yes, it's adapts not adapots. Fixed.
