Reply to Darren. “remember YC fund people not projects. most projects are just hacker projects that might turn into something later on.”
Agree completely but see value in what y combinator does for its companies. They give little actual seed money ($5k plus another $5K for each founder). Essentially, they are just giving you three months of pocket money to finish your prototype (get to beta). With the prototype, Y combinator then presents your project to venture capital. What does the startup get out of it? They get the seal of approval of Y combinator plus entrees to VC …. which is huge!

If anybody wants to apply for the next round at y combinator, here is the link for winter 2009:

I wonder how long it’ll be before Twitter and Social Networks For Everything fads die out..

As mentioned earlier by Jim (wow we have followers!?!), our app Keepsy is designed to be the Twitter of links.

It doesn’t have any fancy stuff like this, it just allows you to add links using a bookmarklet and they get added to your feed. You can also ‘follow’ other people and can view a Facebook-newsfeed-stylee list of these.

If you don’t fancy checking the site all the time (I don’t really fancy being responsible for a huge drop in productivity as has happened since Twitter arrived!) we also have RSS and Atom feeds.

You can checkout my keepsy feed at http://luca.keepsy.com/

Very useful. Takes no effort to share a link.

Well, I send my friends either a simple link, or an iMacros bookmark (aka social scripting). That works well.

Does anyone else have Firefox Add-on Fatigue? And Add-on too far. The Add-on that broke the browser’s back?

remember YC fund people not projects. most projects are just hacker projects that might turn into something later on.

I don’t actually see why these things need funding to get this far to be honest.

I signed up, got an invite, downloaded the firefox addon, then immediately uninstalled it because of the additional toolbar buttons, popups, etc. Seriously, I have a 24″ display and I barely have enough space to fit in the default toolbar icons… When will developers stop stuffing toolbar icons/taskbar icons down our throats?

Veron, in my experience it does distort them a little, but it has never made a site difficult to navigate.

Very interesting. I’m not sure if I’m getting it right. But wouldn’t these appended avatars distort the layout/alignment of some websites?

I had fun with it for about ten minutes. I will probably delete tomorrow.

Well, the claim of a 9 second install is bogus. I had to “allow” Firefox 4 times to install it before getting past “…waiting”

Not a good first experience. Shades of twitter. Which isn’t a positive right now.

Let’s see if it was worth it.

How it is different than FriendFeed.com’s browser based “Share on FriendFeed” feature? I dont know why it can be so big especially if FriendFeed provides such a great conversation platform…
