I completely agree WRT purpose- YC is much more useful to bring up things that you might not have thought of, or to hepl you understand the larger issues, rather then the minutiae of what's going on in 2.0 News. One of the uses I've found

I think this is a matter of Knowing the Audience, and giving them the details that matter to them.. For instance, if you know what's going on with lease information- You've done this before, you're all set, bringing up the lease at all is j

Is this really suitable here? Clintonforbes, I think this belongs more on Digg, rather than news.yc- I understand you're really excited about your leak or fake or whatnot, but for YC to remain useful, it really needs to be focused. Please

I think that's probably over-thinking it- It's not about making a good impression to pg and his friends.. They're smart developers, and I'm sure they aren't going to turn down a team because they didn't participate in news.yc.. What YC do

They had 53K at the time of writing ;) That article is from nearly a year ago.. I think that that is part of the key to understanding why the 53K are targetted- Because anything they're talking about now has a good chance of making it big l

It's not nearly that simple though- Google position isn't "copyright doesn't matter", it's that "Look, we'll take it down if you ask. The law says that's OK! Why are we still arguing"? Take a look up a few posts for my perspective ;)

This is a great thing, and IMO, exactly why Google bought Youtube.. They paid for this lawsuit. When you think about it, everything Google does, the Cache, Google Groups, The Image search, and even their golden baby, Search, requires that t

Seth Godin suggests (paraphrased) - Look at an industry as it exists currently.. Think of the Sacred Cows- "This industry ALWAYS....", and then question what would happen if they weren't there. What would happen if "Enc. Britannica didn't

There are two real problems I see with a site like this- The first is that the people working on it aren't friends- They don't know each other well, so won't have the relationship to whether what comes.. The second is that people who are pu

Certainly a good insight into the overall, but I'd love to see some more of the details of what people are going through- Almost Triumph or the Nerds style.. Maybe follow some of the YC teams for a Documentary?

I could easily believe it was that high- Keep in mind, the program got a good deal of publicity, not just in the areas where you'd normally expect, bug Digg, etc... I think the model they're doing is Damn clever; Had I the money, I'd love t

I would suspect that here, they pull you directly away from your current projects, to work on the new Startup- This isn't 20% time, it's "Work on your own time until you have a good prototype.. Then, 100% time"

This reminds me a bit of the Bell Labs west-coast startup program. Back in the 1990s, they created their internal startup area. While it did do was create a lot of hostility, and keeping of secrets from other divisions. It divided the compa
