#2We 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
Re: Vote up if you're rejected but will still proceed
#3Reddit has made me wary of vote polls, so I won't vote up. But we are still going to do our thing. I'm looking at the silver lining of not getting in. Moving really sucks ;)

I think it's important to be flexible though. If an idea does not seem to be getting much traction, you might consider moving on to your next 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

Well, yes, you would probably want to see how the world reacts before giving up.

Well, I voted you up even though I disagree with your belief about not voting up.

#8I'm not sure. Without someone to pay my living expenses, I can't work on it full time. So I'm deciding between moonlighting it, or taking a job with another startup.

If you honestly think PG rejected people based on their idea, I think you're wrong. That's probably the last criteria he used. So, work on the idea. I would reject 90% of submissions, too, if I was running something like this.
For example, with Google, Google AdSense was the glue that made everything work (profitability, great product, many users, good reputation, ability to have free food.) You might say their demo and pagerank was actually important, but they couldn't even sell that for $1 million dollars. Heck, even right now, nobody would buy their original technology as Yahoo! and MSN must have already surpassed the original PageRank in quality.
