I disagree.
As months go by, it's going to be even harder for anyone to come up with a social network as big as FB. Why ? FB's critical mass!
As it's been said, all that differentiates Facebook for an individual user is the presence of that users friend’s on Facebook — which forces them to use Facebook to connect with them.
And this is precisely why FB is not a founding member of the OpenSocial foundation. Facebook is threatened by OpenSocial’s ultimate aim of connecting user profiles and enabling users to easily manage and port their data across any social network.

I couldn't agree more, but:
1) You can't just ignore YC's decision regarding your project, especially when you believe that your webapp will revolutionize the Web in some ways. These people are highly experienced profesionals:if you haven't caught their attention, get back to work because something key is missing.
2) YC is not like any other funding cycles... we are talking about mentorship here as opposed to financial back-up. Of course there are plenty of ways to raise money, but very few to get strong expertise.
Feedback vs. Feedback
Hi everyone. For obvious reasons, YC does not give any feedback after rejection; this is completely understandable considering the large number of applicants. But I think there is a difference between feedback (what lacks in your application) and feedback (you concept is cool but not a viable business and there is nothing you can do about it). These are 2 different things and I think people...

Users vs. Patents: what makes a successful Web business?
Hi fellow tech. entrepreneurs, There is this thing I'd like to discuss and get your feedback on. OK, considering the last 2 biggest acquisitions within the Web industry, a.k.a. MySpace and YouTube, nobody can deny that this business has derived to a new form: this is no longer tech. driven; this is about a company's ability to build a large user base, or let me rephrase it: this game is all...
