I'm sure there are hundreds, but I really want to know how many are serious and what their motivations are. I applied this cycle because I need to be somewhere where big ideas + execution are considered the norm rather than where I am now, where web apps seem like a thing to put on your resume to get work at a bland company writing Crystal Reports on business development ROI.

I'm thinking of making a business to deploy ubiquitous services with the help of collaborative wiki-tagging products. Or maybe generate Facebook-driven architectures using leading-edge ROI. Or maybe deploy frictionless services accurately via venture-backed cloud-funded models. Do you think YC will like these ideas? ;)
