Not in. Oh well. Sounds like an overwhelming response and bigger venue again next year. Looking forward to watching some of it on justin.tv though. Have a productive day everyone who made it in. :)
I refuse to accept that I suck Paul. Seriously. You're 1-5 people trying to judge on what you think is going to work. I personally think reddit gave you a bit of an ego trip. I think your vision of the future is clouded by visions of the past. The future is strange and you're going to miss it. Enjoy your 15 minutes.
i'm not sure what the startup school email said (i live on the east coast), but my rejection from yc was pretty civil... We're sorry to say we couldn't accept your proposal for funding.

PG, the YC team, and YC as a company is there to help those who they think they should help. It's their discretion. Decrying YC isn't going to help.
