Great idea and contest page.

Strangely, Airdnb and Hipmunk are only briefly mentioned without even their logos or links to their sites...

Just as an FYI, you're violating state and federal laws.

Not kidding.

That's some nifty navigation you've got going on there.

Very amused they have a pull quote from Mel Gibson. (If you click through to the airbnb page for the island.)

WE'LL NEVER FORGIVE THEM!!!1!

Just kidding!

What do you think of this in-flight-graphic or designer Shaun Sanders knocked out? Pretty rad, eh? http://blog.hipmunk.com/your-guide-to-a-private-island-vacat...

I can't get over how pretty Dustin Curtis' landing page is, though.

Good luck for Socialcam! Just got an email for from them.

But, please, never send mass mail without an unsubscribe link. Never. It is actually against US law. And its bad user experience. Otherwise, users will not trust their emails for a beta program of next YC startup.

Sorry, that was an oversight. Won't happen again.
