I have no love for the twins, however I also cant agree with your statement. There is a difference between posting on CL with an idea. and having an idea/site and plan laid out - recruiting a developer who decides to work with you who obvio

I guess it is more a test of how the money affects the startup vs. the mentorship/network.

Actually, I would like to get into the YCReject as a PRE-YC -- where I can get to a much better position with my plan, then apply to YC with the same plan, next session.

Can you give more info? Why wouldn't having all your critical data online work. The idea being that you wouldn't access/sync any of it until you reached your destination and while you were traveling you only had a base install of the OS of

BTW - I dont mean to take away from Appleseed or what you're doing - but I just have a gut reaction against all things facebook. I have never had an account and never will and I have a very dystopian view of what that service really is. See

I hate the blue. I think the UI is facebook 2.0 completely, and while I think they are well done - I think they look like a cold corporate site profile and is one of the things that I have always hated about facebook - the UI is really not

Yep, thats why I said the post was relevant, implying I was reposting something.

This post is relevant - but I am inspired to write one based on this article the meta-data-sets that get created and the services which we build on them are going to be very interesting. Specifically working out the taste graph with predict

One difference thiugh is every one of those tools are accessed via a unique url. Facebook.com is the only way to access the other. It would be interesting if, like facebook, you coukd do nothing on google without signing in. further upon si

So, assuming I got a rejection letter AND I updated after the deadline, I'm guessing my rejection still stands? ;)

I think its because they had shitty UI design. The yahoo pages ALWAYS were too cluttered. They should have done minimalism and dropped the cartoony icons and lame yodels and focused on a classy interface.

This is a battle in which everyone wins. However - the information released is less valuable without information on how the systems are used. For example, it would be great to get an idea of how Facebook is deploying the FusionIO cards they

Well, since that is just a landing page, and appears to be founded by one of the guys behind 500 startups -- I think i will be a matter of having a good idea, having a sound design for implementing that idea and getting them to believe that

Actually, I think this is fantastic due to the fact that there are brilliant designers with great ideas - and while it was hard to find developers to become technial co-founders with simply a design - now they can show they have some fundin

This is probably exactly why they act the way they do: they know the data is a goldmine and they want to protect that resource. Create a very narrow TOS and await ideas from the developer community such that they get a good idea of what to

One of the problems that I have is that I am considered a "non-technical" person because I am not a coder, yet I AM very technical. I have very good technical skills - but they are not around development. I am fixing that now though by lear

I know that you're now probably 22, that you were struggling a few years ago because you had to drop out of school and you had very little experience and were seeking some advice. HNers gave you some good advice at the time too, I believe.
