"What do you look for in entrepreneurs? First and foremost, they need to be magnets. For talent. For money. For attention. And for much more." Would be interesting to see how YC founders compare to that standard. Although maybe YC/PG is so

What I was reffering to, is a topic being posted on YC (say, should Valleywag be banned ...) and then it is linked to by both Techcrunch and SAI, and then that article written about the original post (say, should Valley wag be banned ...) i

"too old," "internet illiterate," "poor" "haven't graduated from MySpace yet" i don't think you much understand people nor do you understand the internet either.
