Nice, another YC success (or solid start) story.

I'm beginning to think that the YC's success is testament not only to the Summer/Winter founders programs but also PG's ability to select great talent.

Not to take away from positive aspects of YC that surely also merit attention, but when your (Paul Graham's) incubator-like program get mentioned in every single blog post and newspaper article about any of your companies, which leads to more mentions, that is viral marketing at its best.

Is that why it is called Y-Combinator (recursive/viral functionality is built-in?)

Yeah, it's like Pink Floyd, their song became exactly what it was about: "Money". And I heard this from Gilmour on an interview.
