Don't know of any in AU, but as far as kiva and prosper, that's not really the YC / seed-funding model, that's the Mohammed Yunnis Micro-loan model. Lending money to somebody and watching their progress is a lot different then what Y C or a

If you look at reddit, 11 of the 25 top posts right now are on politics. That's definitely not a balanced view of the news. Digg has 2 right now, but used to have way more. They've obviously built great sites, but as many have already noted
