http://flink.io/ iOS only? Not even a website equivelant? I for the life of me cannot understand this strategy. How do you tell your friends to use it? They all have to own iPhones? You don't want your service to be browseable at work or at home on your laptop? I just don't get it.

In theory, you'd better make ONE awesome iPhone app than several crappy apps/website. Look at Instagram, it never stopped them from spreading. Besides, it helps building the wait in the other markets. That's definitely a good strategy.

Definite emphasis in this list on experiencing fashion , as opposed to online shopping. Some eye-catching sites (and products, and prices I presume). So it's probably off topic of me to ask for any thoughts or links for buying great suits online - not invitation-only great, but wearable and stylish. Or does no-one in the Valley wear suits these day?

> Or does no-one in the Valley wear suits these day? not to be _that_ guy, but there are markets for stuff beyond SV...

Sure, but would you ask people here about such things?

In about 1.5 months I would love to show HN some actual innovation to the fashion space. I'm getting things buttoned up (pun intended) on a startup we're developing in NYC working a full range of bleeding API's and we've done some heavy surgery on the Youtube API in order to add some pretty cool new UI features. Simply put, we are focused on content creation and curation in a simple, tumblr-esque way. As we sit now i…

I'd love to see this. Any way you can put me on a mailing list? (My username) at gmail.com.

Sounds like you're saying that Youtube content creators will be able to tag items in their videos and this could directly link to say an Amazon affiliate link to buy the product in the video. If so, this sounds like a really profitable idea. How far off am I?

Yes, absolutely.

Coincidentally I'm working on mailers today but I noticed your email on Github so I'll set a reminder for myself and let you know when I have a mailing list up.

;) You have the right state-of-mind.

But step back a little and see the bigger picture. Real world implementation of the old affiliate system is high-quality spam in exchange for pennies on the dollar.

Thomas from Flink - We've just launched 2 weeks ago and are focused on iOS (one great app is better than two crappy ones)! We'll iterate on iOS for a few months before launching on other platforms
