Haha. They have not looked at my video, so I have a strong chance to see the same email soon. It is a little bit annoying that they asked for so many things, but then knock you out with your first line. On the other side, thanks to this application, I feel that I am more concise. It is all about staying positive and moving forward regardless what happen. Good Luck everyone! (including me :)
The other way to look at the YC application is that it provides a good structure to write down why your business. Regardless of acceptance/rejection, the application is something you can use going forward as a discussion point for your story.
Definitely the right way to view it.

#33Been hitting refresh on the inbox all day! Curious about other people and their video views, we got about 7 hits on ours after the deadline from California (Youtube analytics wont go any deeper). I doubt they were all from YC as the link was sent to other alums who reviewed our app and it is possible on of them hit it up after the deadline. Anyone else look at their stats?
Now I'm really interested in the correlation between video hits and interview invites.
Hahah me too!!

I don't really think there is much to look into, and if there was a relationship it is probably spurious. You don't know the reasons why they are looking at any particular video, nor do you know if they are using auto-play (which might not show on stats).
Possibly you can see whether you make it past the alumni filter (http://www.quora.com/Y-Combinator/Do-all-YC-partners-read-ea...), but beyond that I am not sure.

#35Good luck everyone! Either way- our team will be celebrating or drinking our sorrows away tonight at Rye Bar in San Francisco ( http://www.ryesf.com/ ). Feel free to stop by...would love to connect either way! Feel free to reach out nirav(at)requext.com Who knows maybe PG will be cool enough to show up and grab a few drinks too!
SFO is an airport; I thought you were going to a bar in the airport!

tweeted from pg, We'll send out invitations to YC interviews close to midnight Pacific, so please don't worry if you hear nothing before then.

Why not submit a unique link, the clicks on which you could track?

Sorry, I meant in the city. The bar is on Geary and Leavenworth.
