I know I AM !! :) Who's with me? You'll face many rejections throughout the lifetime of the company, if you stop at the first rejection, you've already lost.
Please describe in 1-3 sentences what you're building.

#2Nope, Already doing it. A user driven embed-able music polling platform / app. Its partially developed right now and will be rocking the music industry very soon. We also hold huge ground with existing social networks and launching already developed apps very soon. Looking forward to being the one that got away... and never looking back!
What are you building?

#3I think that if getting a rejection from YC is enough to stop someone, then that was probably one of the reasons they were rejected.

#8My opinion is that applying for funding should merely be something to bring 'excitement' to an otherwise tough' monotonous' life of an entrepreneur.
Whether you get funded does not only depend on the ingenuity of your idea but a match between you and the funder.
You should continue working because you believe in your idea (to some extent but over-believing is unhealthy) and simply because what else would you do with your spare time =)

#10yeah, no point in me stopping when the product is 80% built already (of course the last 20% is the toughest). i applied with a social photo search app... it's like greplin for photos and videos. if you want an invite to the beta, sign up at http://www.pilvy.com/
