Ok, but all jokes aside, we're still waiting for an email :(. I might have made a mistake, but I'm pretty sure I triple-checked my email address in the application, and I also have it in my profile. I know my application was submitted, since I received a question from pg himself.

Maybe something went awry with the mail script? I don't want to assume one way or another until I get an actual response...All I know is that productivity is going to suffer today! Is anyone else still waiting?

Perhaps providing responses through the HN profile could be a good fix to this problem and the spam folder issue for future cycles?

my mail is terribly unreliable, but my co-founder got our rejection letter, just now managed to forward it to me :D

wanted to see me sweat, obviously

Don't know if I could congratulate you or sympathize... but you definitely are much less strained now, then other remaining poor souls suffering from uncertainty.

Good luck. Maybe we'll meet one day, in Sequioa Capital or somewhere, and share a laugh on good old YC application times ...

honeyman, is your group still waiting on a response? Am I the only one left that can't find a response email?

Yep, still waiting. I am slightly worried that something is wrongs with us in general, cause seems that everybody here received a question or two from PG :). We haven't.

Either we were incredibly clear (having sent out the form long before the deadline and tweaked it numerously since then), or they just tired of reading our form, which slightly (but intentionally) breaks the "200 word" request almost everywhere.

Hard to fit into 200 words, when you have almost everything in mind preplanned and thought, from the scalability-related technical questions and repayment strategy, up to the image-creating plans...

Still nothing here, either ... so don't feel alone.

Tired of waiting, wrote them directly, got a reply promptly... and joining the "Waiting for another lucky chance" team :) They told me that my email was issued out on Wednesday; so probably it was some mail fault why it haven't arrived before.

200 words? my application was telling me 120 words...

i was ROBBED

Oops. Seems like we were about twice more talkative and twice less attentive than needed.
