I think the "problem" is compared to some of the quality ideas in the past (dropbox, reddit etc.) a lot of this round seems a bit trivial.
I'm pretty sure a couple of them, too, will bottom out quite quickly because they either don't appear to fit their market or understand it.
fnid2 is being silly in latter posts though; interestingly he trivialized/picked holes in the ones I think might do ok and sort of passed over the ones I think have major flaws.

People forget that reddit was widely viewed as a trivial digg clone in its early days. Dropbox also seemed trivial to some early on: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224
