He said he feels more safe and free. In China, the criminals don't have guns, so that's one big point in favor of safety. As far as freedom, he's a Westerner, so he's granted much more freedom than the average Chinese citizen.

Yes, it would be nice to get feedback, but a lot of people would find a tweet-length rejection insulting. YC doesn't have enough time to make their application process perfect, but it seems to get better every cycle. If you want some feedba

Exponential growth first and then new features is normally a viable path for a Web 2.0 business, but the founder of Chatroulette is finding it a bit hard to deal with new features when he has to worry about scaling his exponentially growing
