Aint taking it personally. After all, just coz YC is not funding does not mean you have a bad idea. If you're smart and determined, you can still pull through :)

Try to remember that sour grapes make good wine. Prove them wrong.
If you were rejected from Y Combinator. Mixpanel is offering free startup plans to you to help bootstrap your startup. Just forward your rejection letter (as proof) to free@mixpanel.com, sign up, and let us know.

I'm going to ignore the content of this post and just say: the tone here makes you sound very bitter and "I'm taking my ball and going home". You may well be right, but this isn't a good way of getting people to take your side, and would look really bad if future potential investors were to see it. Something to keep in mind.

I've also learned to get more feedback and to go to great new places, like wompt and convore to get that feedback.
When we submitted our application we thought that our service was the only service like it out there and we had a hard time explaining our service. But we were wrong just yesterday (1 day before the rejection letter), I found out that there is a similar service and that it was even funded by YC. That service being Songkick. Our lack of research is our own mistake, a mistake we'll learn and grow from.
Today our description is:
Subscriby is like Songkick but for any interest you decide on and like Topspin, it allows brands to connect directly to it's fans to promote and sell.
Yesterday it was:
A service that is like twitter/facebook but provides filtered updates for relative interests.
And on our website it's:
Subscriby is a User-submitted Micro-news Aggregator. Users subscribe to interests and receive filtered updates of user's selected types.
So I'm not surprised, that out of the very talented people that applied, we got rejected.
Thanks and we'll see you next batch!
We received a rejection letter as well, we aren't disappointed, the whole process has been a great learning experience for us, filling out the application and recording the video got us thinking about things we hadn't.

I shall place it next to my NASA Astronaut reject letter. I was surprised to find out how obesi-phobic they are!
