   As long as you're diligent, it's not that difficult to deliver e-mail successfully. It really depends on what kind of e-mail you're sending and how frequently you send it. That being said, monitoring bounces, watching junk mail reporting pr

   Just some custom wrapper for PHP's mail() using QMAIL. Unfortunately, now we're on EC2 and there's no way to pass reverse DNS lookups on e-mail originating from an instance. That's bad. Looked through many third-party solutions, but they ar

   Under a B-1 visa, you're not allowed to work for a US company or receive any money while you're in the US. Since YC is a program that clearly intends to fund a US company of yours, it's no surprise that you were put under additional scrutin

   YUI is great, but it won't remove trailing semi-colons in CSS. I've found YUI gives the best compression -- I used to use dojo shrinksafe. Try this to compare: http://compressorrater.thruhere.net/

    This is for prototype/scriptaculous (not jQuery) but I thought I'd let you know anyway: http://www.knallgrau.at/code/colorpicker I use it on my web app; Twitter also uses it.

    Comments should live on the original blog post. We'll continue to see hacks like friendfeed comments and this plug-in until comments are fixed.

    For what it's worth, last year, a handful of companies didn't end up launching on the day(s) of the conference (probably because they weren't ready vs strategy)

    I was in the Demo Pit -- was good since I'm from Canada, and got to tour the bay area. I wouldn't recommend the Demo Pit -- people spend most of the day in the conference and either head home or make a quick pass through the pit. You will m

    I'd love to see this for prototype. Let us know if you ever get around to it. Mootools lets you do it; you can even choose the type of compression you want (although I prefer to minify things myself): http://www.mootools.net/download

    Keep in mind, revenue sharing/generation might not be as important as you think. Think of Revver vs. Youtube. Reading this may help: http://www.bubblegeneration.com/2006/10/research-note-peer-v...

    Using freeconomics isn't monopolistic in nature. There are ways to compete, independent of pricing strategy (e.g. all webmail is free, so the best product wins). If Roovno is a service that can generate revenue for users while they use free
