Tonight we're going to email everyone who applied for summer 2011. We use the email address in the email field of the HN account used to apply. So if you applied, please check that you have a working email address (not foobar AT gmail.com) in the email field of your profile.

(That field is not publicly visible, as you can see if you try logging out and looking at your profile.)

If you want to live chat about applications and acceptances with prior YC founders and other applicants, you can do so in the Convore (a YC W2011 company)

I prefer this chat interface over convore.

Better -- just put your email address in your 'about' section as well. If not, you are probably missing out on contact from other HNers.

There's nothing wrong with gmail, he's saying don't write your email as "name at gmail dot com" as some people do this to prevent automatic spam bots. Instead, write it as "name@gmail.com" so it's easier to email/copy+paste.

They will send all the emails at once "something this evening CA time".
