Is it too early to propose a Google Hangout like thing between teams got rejection letters? So we could share some ideas and encourage to take further marching/pivoting. Up vote?

Rejection letter arrived when I was writing a letter to a customer and when the first actual transaction took place on this 3 weeks old platform. Ugh. Honestly the latter didn't make me feel better, though I didn't quite expect a miracle, because expecting a miracle often indicates the short of preparation. This is be a 4-star strenuous hiking trail, we are a beginner level; next time we'll be real fit. Congratulations to all got the interview and good luck! Virtual toast to everybody who received the same letter, c u soon again on HN.

oh, btw, I think the best part of applying YC is starting conversations with everybody on HN. I like the synergy here very much.

New York is pretty chilling tonight. I just asked my cofounder "would you find the project hard to stick to if YC turned us down, which is highly possible?" She said, "No." I asked "would you be upset then?"She said,"No. I'm more anxious about when are you going to call the guy who said he had a great contact."

After skimming through all comments, I decided to humbly post my blog a while ago about hiring offshore team on Elance to develop my first iPad app, because it is a journey along which I learned a lot and derived pleasure. https://medium.com/on-startups/bad992e31ab6
Should I contact YC to update the progress after application?
Hi everybody~ Thx for viewing this.Our team applied YC W2014 when we just started the project from the ground. In the past 6 days, we've made tremendous progress, i.e, nailing down more users, identifying another competitor, and almost seeing the first transaction. I know the first transaction doesn't necessarily mean there is a second and third till a millionth, but it is not zero anymore. Do...

When I introduced Aktively to artists as "an online marketplace for people..." people looked at me as if saying "what are you all about kiddo." So when I ordered my business cards today, I changed it to "a website for people..."

We kinda like the requirement of no fancy post-production added; this reduces the possibility to screw it up. Besides, different people like different types of movies; but a good story always stands.
