Note to anyone who just skimmed it: Read all of it. This part stuck with me: "Level out the highs and lows. [...] For me this is the toughest part of startups because I find it emotionally draining but I also appreciate that right now I'd

I believe the application is the more important part. But a demo can let the know that you've done more than dream. It would say that you have, at the very least, gone further than conceptualize and thought about implementation.

Some of the questions don't seem very productive ("Are you easy to get along with?" -- Who would set N?). Even if questions were tuned, it just seems fixed, categorical, and coldly unequivocal. A working relationship is anything but.

The best ideas are innovative and edgy. Any competitors will be behind the curve once they realize what you already know. If your idea is good in a duh-obvious sense, then you can be damned sure someone else is already doing it or has done

Will you be joining our after school yc.news meetup, or do you YC alums have your own exclusive event? If anyone's willing to participate, I would love to set up something where current YC founders and potential YC applicants can gather, ch

I'd say the best social network to be in is one that has a bit of a meritocratic air about it. There will always be impressive company among you, no?

Most of my time is being dedicated to working on my project. A beta launch is set for within the next 2-3 months. I'm also at school in the meantime.

Submissions on articles that cover the same content should be fair game. The voting of the community should decide which article is worth reading.

If it's on the web, spam will always be a possibility. I don't see people getting discouraged from creating networks due to spam. Any quarter-decent social application will have some measures for dealing with it. Most social applications ar

Which ones are you referring to? Not all of the previous companies have appealed to me as a user, but they've all peaked my interest as a hacker.

I used the RSS feed for a little while, but I tend to just leave a browser window open at yc.news now as I work on various things. There's nothing quite like the YC tan and orange to really put me in the startup mood.

I second jwecker's idea to allow a single photo avatar for each member. It would be very beneficial to attach faces to the personalities, especially in light of the upcoming Startup School.

The great thing about being a startup is that you can skimp on many things. Being cheap (many of us have no other choice) forces us to optimize and scrutinize the details. That's why we can create some cool things that are also efficient wi

View3 is one that I'm particularly looking out for. The premise just sounds completely awesome. I've tried Microsoft's Photosynth and I was pretty impressed. I can't wait to see what the team behind View3 has come up with.

Facebook is now open to all users. I think the best place to organize would be somewhere we could add information and organize, such as the Infogami Wiki.
