140 Characters? Just Post A Picture On DailyBooth (YC S09)

#12I will never get over what a weird name "Daily Booth" is. Booth!?
Yeah, booth. Like a photo booth. Not like John Wilkes.
I guess the point I was trying to make was that "photo booth" is far from the first word association that comes to mind when I hear "booth". The first would be a table at a restaurant; the second would be a phone booth.
Whenever I hear the name I am confused and have to remember what it is. The mental concept that springs to mind upon hearing the phrase "daily booth" is, maybe, someone who visits the same restaurant every day, and insists on sitting in the same spot. Or maybe it's the blog of someone who posts a picture of a different phone booth every day. The idea it has anything to do with photos is kind of this late "oh yeah" arrival.
Anyway, whatever, what do I know, I also think youtube is an utterly ridiculous name...

#14Is this another startup where most of the growth comes from people sharing porn?
What exactly is wrong with people sharing porn?

#18Cool site. The idea seems so simple (not a bad thing) and it looks like it's gaining lots of traction. I don't know that I'd become a part of the network, but I can see the appeal.
Does anyone know what idea this YC group started with? I get the feeling this startup is of the "bite off a small piece of a bigger problem" type and that it will grow into its original intention over time.

I believe Jon & Co. were working on DailyBooth for some time before YC (see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=479352). I'm not sure if/how YC changed their focus/strategy, though.

Photobooth isn't a terribly bad name, but this service deserve something shorter and funnier.
Youtube? That I think is a great name, instantly rememberable and fitting to the service.
