Earlier quoted context omitted.

Good words, thanks. I made a plan- going to get lunch and walk by the ocean. Pass the time. But getting into YC is a big deal. I obviously won't give up if I don't get in, but getting in is a really huge deal. I've invested so much thought and energy into it for months. I just want to know!

Good for you buddy. The ocean is more beautiful than the grandest of Silicon Valley office space. And startup CEOs usually don't get the time for walks down the beach, so enjoy it! I'd go for a walk by the East River but I'm at work and I don't want to get MRSA from a radioactive sea creature.

Regardless of the outcome today, simply going through the exercise of completing the application is valuable. For us, we have been reminded, very clearly, "WHY" we took this risk in the first place. No matter the outcome, keep building!

This. It was my YC application that helped my wife be comfortable with me pushing forward on my startup even if we never make YC.

I wonder if there is any correlation between how much people care about their idea, ending up on this thread, and their likelihood of getting an interview.

There is certainly a correlation about caring about the idea and success . But ideally you should be focused on building your product, which is more important than any investor.

Easier said than done, specially today (I firmly believe in that, and am here after all).

Getting in YC is a big deal, but not getting in YC shouldn't change your vissions and plans for your Startup. Starting a business is stressful and you have to get used to it otherwise it will be easy for you to give up and work on something else. You chose to dedicate your life to this Startup and dedication means no matter what happens you will find a way.

@glennon, we are live. http://LokalMuzik.com

For a moment I thought that said Local Muzak and was very confused.

It's admittedly a rough beta at present, but ImageHex is a cross between an image search engine, a social network, and (once we've built more of the site out), a marketplace for commissioning and selling your art.

Feedback greatly appreciated!
