I think you people are diluting the meaning of company. When I was 6 I used to draw things and write down Copyright 1991 My Name, Inc. It was only a few more years that I realize, just cause I can write down a company name does not a company make.

Well, if they were YC applicants they probably weren't companies as YC seem to prefer groups that are not already incorporated. I guess it's more like people with 6 different product ideas (and names) got together to do Scribd then saying 6 companies merged.

Sounded like 8 kids with varying ideas of a project, I can't even fathom what those names mean, now work together at a funded company.

I really wanted to mod this +1, Funny and remembered this isn't slashdot.

But to be fair, I used to do the same.
