"Sorry; perhaps we should have reminded people to do this."

translation:

"You're lucky we didn't just skip your dumb ass."

There are still 12 hours and 54 minutes remaining! .... besides the first batch might already be out ... is there gonna be a second?

Didn't the applications themselves call for email addresses, or am I misremembering?

Yes, but I assume that was just for human consumption. This probably makes it easier to automate the ~1k emails they have to send.

I'm pretty surprised, I mean writing a script to slurp the emails can't take more than a couple of minutes.

A lot of people omitted to include any email addr even in the body of the application.

Sounds like you have a pretty good applicant filter for free =)

Yes it is, or at least it is now.

Strange. It isn't for me, yet I'm seeing another that was posted more recently.

Me, too, on both counts.

If the emails are automated, they might end up in the junk mail. Yahoo and Hotmail, in particular, have the tendency to do that.

Anyway, about one hour is left before it hits 10th in Mountain View. Good luck everyone!

This post is so interesting,

there is no guarantee that those who didn't fill in the email address will read this. And to make sure they read this, you would want to send them an email.

Presumably anyone who didnt fill in the email in the profile would have to be contacted using the email address in the application form.

Nice, I have my e-mail in my profile from beginning :) however I can't apply, my english is very poor and I can't relocate to the U.S., so good luck to everyone who apply!

your english does not have to be good. to have a successful startup, you dont have to relocate to the USA (except for YC).
Re:If you applied for summer 2007 funding, please tell us yo... by ivan on Tuesday April 10, 2007 @02:37PM (#11411)
I agree juwo (however, better language skills would be fine) but this is about YC ...
