great job guys!

now allow me to overstep my bounds: your trypair.com site is nearly impossible to read.

here, i made a few changes: http://i.imgur.com/REGrI.jpg

i'll send the psd if you want. it's just 10 minutes of mods without much effort, but i think this should be easier to read.

If you're good at something never do it for free.

I don't get the value add here and why its fundable. I'm sure its useful, but will it become ubiquitous? I doubt it. So it seems like the VC's are trying to have another Instagram hit. But that's a VC's job. To take risks and hope for the next big thing. I don't see it here. Maybe this team, but not this idea.

Seems like a niche product, but I reckon it's got huge potential. People are vain. This lets someone else make you feel good 24/7. I think $4.2m is going to get this into a lot of pockets.

First movers in a space they have somewhat created. Would have loved it a couple of years ago. Lots of potential in related verticles. Let the copy cats begin.

Strictly speaking "Between" were first movers http://appbetween.us/lang/en-us - but with the huge amount of press afforded to YC companies, you would never have known it...
