Applications open for summer 2009 YC funding

Can we do anything other than video at Posterous? My cofounder and I are distance-separated, and I don't know how we'd make a video like that. Could we do a two-person audio conference, for instance? And if it turns out we're not able to submit something like that, would you say that puts us at a disadvantage versus somebody that's sending in a good relaxed video?

I've waited a year to apply, though, and this is an utter thrill! I got such a such seeing the applications open this morning.

a two-person audio conference, for instance?

How about a Skype video-conference? http://www.skype.com/allfeatures/videocall Some angel investors use it to attend far-away board meetings from home.

Huh! That's a very definite possibility.

Of course, that lacks the personal feel of an in-person film: maybe we'll both try and long-distance to New York City for the occasion.

Update: I guess Skype-to-Skype video calling is limited to just two participants, for now: http://support.skype.com/en_US/faq/FA661/How-do-I-start-a-vi...

Video calls are only possible with two participants. Unfortunately, video conferences are not possible at the moment.

So, you could "conference" between two people (or two locations), but that's it (which should be enough if it's just two founders).

Hm. Still not certain how I would record that...
