Here is a good blog post I read some time ago about how this company chose their designer: http://www.barenakedapp.com/the-team/how-we-picked-the-designer Figuring out the best designer for your site is, generally, more art than science.

I was showing the templates that my graphics designer created for my web site to a female colleague: she: I like this one. me: the one with the orange background?!! she: yes, it looks nice. me: well...it's colorful; but for everyday use, yo

Anyone knows who the y-comb startups use? Most of them have decent designs and they're on a small budget. What's their secret?

Their web site looks nice, but they seem expensive!!! What's "Low Cost" to you? Ballpark figure? I know some companies charge thousands of dollars, and that's beyond my budget.

I second that. I bookmark many comments threads and the default title comes up as "Y-Combinator startup news". Then I copy the post title and paste it in my title field. It would be nice if I can skip the copy-paste step.

I know they selected the finalists on 4/10. But their blog doesn't mention details. http://www.techstars.org/site/page/pg5899-as1290.html

Anyone applied to TechStars? How was it like?

How about submitting it to this site with the prefix [IDEA]? Mailing lists commonly use [ANN] prefixes for new announcements. There is no reason we can't use something similar. For example: [IDEA] A web site for sharing startup ideas. [STAR

Sure, but is it worth the noise it adds to the site? And do visitors actually see anything but the top 2 or 3 words?

Seems like a feature, not a company. But to get a better feel for it, test the concept: create a public wiki page on one of the free wikis out there and use it as a shared to-do list for you and your girlfriend. If you're still using it aft

Good analysis, but there is a catch. Newspapers already have readers. When people post in a newspaper, they want to get the word out. But if you create a web site specifically for this purpose, I doubt that people will read it often to chec

First impression: good idea because I haven't heard of something like that before. After thinking about it: Good idea but won't create a big successful business for the same reason above. There are already several web sites that does that
