Ask HN: Heard of any good startups?

Three times a week, I write about a new startup at Venture Pimp (http://venturepimp.com/). It's actually really hard to find cool things that haven't gotten much press.

So, as always, I'm on the hunt for interesting startups. If you've got a startup, or have heard of something nifty, let me know. I'd really appreciate it. :)

Happy Sunday, folks.

Sending you an email with more info, but in the meantime, check us out http://www.repustate.com

And we're Canadian, too. Double-double anyone?

I would kill someone for some Tim's at this point. ;)

Wow. I must be the only person living in Canada (though not Canadian) who does not like Tims. Though timbits are a different story.

TaskRabbit is neat if you haven't written about them yet.

I assume you are talking about Tim Hortons, which is the only Canadian thing I know named "Tim".

I've been there once (I'm American). You guys got it right up there. Who doesn't want drive thru muffins?

So glad I popped into this thread and discovered repustate. Really cool API!

Where was this a couple of years ago?! I had worked on a project with a friend and we were looking for exactly this to support it. We dropped it because we would have had to build what you offer plus our service. Your API looks clean and simple. I just might have to play with this still.

Oh and I'm 1/4 Canadian, does that make me cool too? :P
