This is outright jealously and conspiracy. This is just ridiculous as to how people cant digest the fact that companies getting out of YC are going places. All the reasons given in here like noisy parties and things are funny. But one thing is that YC/PG combo has ruffled few feathers :).

25,000 page views on an average is impressive. It also proved wrong some of the prediction that after the competition, the traffic will drop down. The articles and stuffs in here are so good that its better to read it in than to visit multiple sites :)

Pissedoff, stop worrying and do your work and get your thing launched. if people are copying your idea, it means its a great one. Second thing is, world is full of copycats and even if she had not steal u r idea, some one would have become your competitor pretty fast. so think her as your competitor and kick start to get her out of business.

i had applied there long back, they shooed me away :D May be it was my fault as i got interviewed on yahoo messenger with some puzzles

kyro, try telling u r idea in your most trusted circle..say friends and if none can help you, ask them to suggest a possible reference who could do it for you. That way you can get a tech guy straight away. If you still cannot find one, narrate your idea and what u want to build to some tech guy and get his advice of which tools are needed, then u can start learning that language.

Getting frustrated for small things? First thing is one must understand that they may be better plans and ideas by better people. The assumptions that my idea is the best is the cause of these problems. When one is passionate about one's stuff, a slight rejection of that angers one. If one things that his/her own stuff is the best then why not be confident enough to keep working on that and may be who knows that D-day will come when you will be recognized.

hmmm are people after money only? I think there may be just very few who will encash the money and take an early retirement. Some may just become angel investors and put some cash into startups. But on the whole if google cannot hold back their employees then there may be something to do with erosion of google culture or mistake in finding the right hire.

Great points. I agree with what the author says. In short they must be given freedom/independence

Reddit is there for all other news but this one i think is for startups.

This is another classic example of an offbeat topic posted in here. No algorithm or methods can stop these things. The posters need to be more responsible in their postings

Is this news for information about startups or for pointing to any of the blog links? :|

hmm bulls eye and thats what we were trying to solve :)

A wise guy will go for things that sounds right to him. If your interests are at building a startup and getting a feel or experience, then pursuing it is a good decision.

For that you must catch hold of someone who trusts u or u trust someone like your classmate or friends. Everyone needs to pay the bill at end of the month and it would be rather difficult for you to convince a stranger

Well its ok. We would dare to go ahead and see how users take our model

yep vlad. As i told you, we know why we were rejected. so its not the idea

Not really dude, we believe that wasnt the criteria for rejection. We believe in our idea and we will implement that and will go live. Then we will do a soul search depending on how the world reacts

We have been telling this from first, YC or not, we will go for it. We are still in the race to make it happen and go live

Rejected too and we know reason why we were rejected :) So no hard feelings as i had posted before its YC or we go alone.

we got rejected too. No worries as its the start of a long journey :)

hey congrats to u too :)

Hey thats a great news. Congrats

Oh did any hacker intercept the mail? Its rater dangerous if that happens ;-)

Looks more like an Asshole tracker squad :D hey, it could be another idea to start this company by collecting Asshole profiles and showing up on request :D

Did PG read this posting?

"Just try to take a released feature away from customers and see how pissed off they get." (37signals.com)

Here we are all waiting for that email and its more or less like this ;-)

I got a mail from GMAIL team asking me not to abuse Gmail by constantly refreshing it :D

As long as you are catering to needs of users, as long as its worth paying for or worth looking up, if it has a solid model, then anyplace would be fine. Its just that as zaidf pointed out, as long as it fits well with culture and profile of the place.... things will run smooth. So go ahead and start it.

i was talking of web browser based plug-in that can do the trick which helps in getting this one

good one. Yeah a dating one will be a good add on service. More like a blind-moving date
