Y Combinator has some really weird bunch of companies. Don’t know how do most of them plan to make money..may be its the build and sell kind of revenue model they r looking at.

How come TechCrunch publicizes all the shitty Y Combinator companies ad nauseum…while truly innovative companies get shut out?

Y Combinator really sucks at picking innovative applications. Y Combinator is a me too, venture capital firm.

Oh no! Not another Wiki startup. Looks like Paul Graham and his army of no-salary founders have forgotten to think out of the box. Wiki, blogs and source control – all three tried and tested ideas. So what else is new? Paul Graham is getting a bunch of low grade html writers for a few crumbs of pizzas and drinks – how brilliant an idea can you expect from them. Laughing stock of the valley.

sorry, http://www.publicsquarehq.com (stupid long URLs) for compare/contrast.

This looks almost exactly like PublicSquare http://www.publicsquahq.com except without all the useful social media stuff. Who are the founders– a couple of Boxes and Arrows authors who ripped off the interface and functionality?

WriteWith: Everybody Point and Laugh

Ted / 12.Apr.2007

Finding content for this blog is so easy. All I need to do is head over to TechCrunch and look at whatever startup-lube they are using to jerk eachother off with.

It’s different from google docs because it’s a blog.
Google Docs is not user-friendly to be published and be accessed.

@Chris: I agree. While this is kind of neat, and Web 2.0-ish, why shouldn’t I just use Google Docs? This is simpler, so that may have some appeal, but Google Docs is about 20 times better! No reason to use this program except for play, IMHO.

Sounds like a very niche product..not quite dumb, but close.
Sounds like another feature company from Y-Combinator.
I can’t see how it can stand-alone.

What exactly what is the revenue model here? exit strategy?

It looks like this is a well thought application but the best bit is the ability to compare versions and then assign a task. I can achieve this now using versioning software but this looks like a better approach.

I've been using Coventi Pages for group editing for a while, and everybody really likes it. Highly recommended.

i was surprised to read this, as I have been working on a quite similar system for a while. It has just gone live a few hours ago on http://www.theopendoc.com and is a very easy and fast collaborative tool for sharing text documents. Whereas on Writewith you have to create a user to create a document, you don’t on TheOpenDoc.com. On Google Apps, it is even more complicated as all users need to be logged in to view or edit.

So, I got the idea while writing minutes from a meeting, and I wanted to send an e-mail to everyone going “here is the link to my minutes. feel free to add whatever you think is missing”. This is basically what would be too complicated in Google Apps, as the document needs to be accessed much easier, like with one click. Well, anyway, check it out and see it for yourself! An example is http://www.theopendoc.com/12

This is a much needed and useful innovation for those involved in multi-person and highly active content production environments. Looking forward to checking it out.

And right on for Binghamton University!

Here’s a question: does such a system reflect realworld workflow, or just an idealized version there of? I ask because every collaboration system I’ve used, from Word with “Reviewing” turned on to Ray Ozzie’s “Groove” product, has generally gotten ditched quickly.

Check in / check out and versioning gets confusing quickly.
Small groups can just do it ad hoc faster than with a system.
Large groups end up overburdening the cvs system and creating a morass.

I don’t think anyone’s hit the sweetspot here, and from what I see so far, neither has writewith.

I dont see the difference between Google docs and this. Apart from the fact that you dont need to sign into writewith.
