It all depends on their history/track record. I will take 2% of whatever terd Mark Zuckerberg pops out next, just because of the hype and what he has done so far.

Facebook is the Pets.com of the new bubble. Once facebook fails the bubble bursts. They are paying for hype.You have to be able to make money to have a valuation of 15billion. Facebook made 50 million this year.The valuation is 300x their income. whatever ...i'm going to bed

save some for me.

took about 15-20 min to fill out application. would be cool to be accapted but not the end of the word if not. i think many of you rely way too much on YC. If you truly have a good idea and good team you can make work without YC and/or any funding. in any case, good luck

I believe an idea is the most important part of a startup. However the idea is useless in the wrong hands, A paint brush in most peoples hands does not mean much,but in an artists hands it's very powerful. Never the less the artists is nothing with out the brush.

please visit www paintbrush com for all your brushing needs

15k each in my opinion is trash, they can keep it. The best reward is the networking aspect. Meeting people in the field and getting to know people that can really fund your idea and help you get it off the ground.

This might seem like a strange question. We have made it so that it is very easy for one to click on our adsense ads by accident. Do you think google will block out account?Would they even notice?

I would take the new job and use the money to hire a coder, along with any coding you can do on your own. You have to be willing to risk everything, if you really want to make it work. No risk no reward. If it was easy everybody would be doing it.

Again i want to stress that you did great work. However as to the concept, your what people call a "me too" company. Alot of other companies doing the same thing at the same time. Yes you are a little bit different ,but not enough that most people will pick over .....google or whoever. If you can figure a way to interact with other service and provide features that they not have that might work.

Did you work on this alone or with a team?

I currently have two other developers on my tean.They are assigned different individual apps to work on. I polish the apps once they are made and take care of the business aspects. I also handle all of the software and data base design. We are working on some pretty interested facebook apps. I'm very excited about the work that we are doing. Face book right now is like the California gold rush. A lot of money and hype around it. i'm still looking for 2 more developers for flash,php/mysql.

I have yet to see an original idea from any facebook app. They are all rehashing old ideas.

My app is pretty solid. It's not intended to replace over take Google apps but rather to target the people that do not use/know about Googles office products.

Google audience tends to be tech savvy, which is a direct contrast to facebooks members.

The added value is that users don't have to subscribe to a new service. It's easily accessible, there is no real way for your friends to know about your writely, With our service they can see all the files on you profile page and be able to edit them if they have the permissions.This application is still most useful than 80% of the apps on facebook.

The difference being that the bank already has your information. The more parties that have your information the greater the chance of a leak.

every web host and their mother has a tool like this, maybe not as pretty. you have to provide a service that no one else does or does well. You also have to have integration with as many other services as possible. ebay,paypal,amazon and crap like that. wish you good luck.

If the reason behind being an entrepreneur is make a difference then you might as well quit now. Making a difference is a byproduct of capitalism. If you really want to "make a difference" make your money the do as bill gates and warren buffet did, I'm also sick of VCs saying that they are looking for companies that want to make a difference. what a sack of shit, I'm in it for the same reason they are, and thats to make a bundle of money.

Great and light weight. I would like a clone.

Whats your business model?

Great execution. Bad concept. Been there done that. good luck.

kinda nice plugin i guess. They need a new name. Thats a FACT. The trend is going more to web based e-mail clients so i guess they should make Xobni for Gmail.

will NEVER be main stream. too many people are too scared to give out their most sensitive information over the web, to be used for dog knows what. i wish them luck.

What would be great is a way to subscribe to torrents as you do on tivo. So that my shows can be downloaded with out me having to search, Like a virtual tivo, but better. yes, that would be sweet.

wow. Glad to know most of the ideas suck. why is everyone working on a "social network" get some original ideas.

better off as a widget than a full site. best of luck
