Earlier quoted context omitted.

good thing i bet 50 cajillion dollars on it happening...now I'm gonna go buy Mercury

I don't know which I find more puzzling- that you have figured out how much Mercury costs, or that you've decided to buy it.

Hey, at least it will have a better shot at finding a business model than twitter... ;) I kid, I kid.

Nothing yet.... why time is moving so slooooow? next startup: a time machine!! =) On the apply page they say: "We'll reimburse up to $600 per group for travel expenses.", do you think is a tricky part? I mean, if we ask for a reimburse for the travel (which would be around $400-500), will we "loose points" during the interview because we aren't so much motivated as we even asked for a reimburse?

I know several groups who got in YC and asked for reimbursement for their travel. YC wouldn't offer it if it biased them in any way. They are sort of the "gold standard" in incubators.

Reading previous threads I have found a pattern. I may be wrong but that seems to be the pattern. Rejection emails go out around 4pm Pacific time and interview invite emails go out around 7pm Pacific time.

Based on observations from the past 2 years, emails go out when applications are decided on in no particular grouping except when they were decided.
