Is it a flag if I truly do not have a Facebook or Twitter? (noticed the application asks for your handles). I'm still sociable, and still in my 20s, it's just they are too distracting, I don't like broadcasting my personal life, and I prefer lightweight messaging apps... I just hope if YC sees that they don't think "Uh oh, somethings wrong here..."

It's ok if you don't have Facebook or Twitter.

and if you're not in your 20s, you're suddenly less of a fit?

I meant the reason I don't use Facebook isn't because I'm older than the average applicant, since it's more understandable to shun Facebook the older you are (it wasn't pushed on you in every direction growing up). A facebook-less 20-something might be more a flag to them.

Facebook is dead anyways. Most of my friends don't have online personas. Facebook's new thing of only showing what your friends liked and commented on is extremely annoying and makes the site pointless. Lots of have realized this.

Well, then fuck them.
