I propose an experiment to return to this page at various points in the future and comment on the status of these startups/websites.<p>I realise that I may be adding to the background noise, but this is ridiculous: <a href="http://imgur.com/F7wkO" rel="nofollow">http://imgur.com/F7wkO</a>
Even though we're in this list (HeyCrowd), I don't get why everyone gets so angry when seeing a list of startups and calling them "junk". It's just a lazy thought process to do that. It's true that most of them will probably fail anyway, so what's the point in destroying them when they're trying their best to bring a vision to life ? Personally, I have discovered a bunch of interesting products there.
Some of these start-ups look like actual start-ups with roads to profitability.<p>Some of them look like side-projects.<p>Either way, regardless of the value of these start-ups it's nice to pierce the YC bubble, if even a little bit.
Let's be honest, people: a lot of these are junk and aren't going to be around in 6 months? Another Twitter client??? An application that finds me resorts??? Haven't seen that idea before!<p>The start-up bubble continues to cometh.
So I take this is just a dump of a month worth of Betalist with TC features excluded?<p>And what's up with all this astroturfing in the comments? Have some decency not hype your own startups, gentlemen.
I would have clicked this list had Techcrunch not been the benchmark it was measured against.<p>Techcrunch and Arrington is a hole of drama and self-obsession and best ignored.
Half of these are coming soon pages, the author of the article doesn't sound like he's tried any of the services in private beta, he's just made a list of what might be cool.<p>Also is the eye-drop app a startup or a side-project?
I wish more of these were actually launched instead of just coming soon.<p>As an iPhone/Mac developer, Objective-Cloud is very interesting to me.<p>A few of the other apps, (I wouldn't call most of them startups) look pretty nice as well.
