I want to throw an idea out there.<p>How about we set up a seasonal voting mechanism, that allows us to track who of us were rejected, and who of the rejects we consider the very best - a true gem that YC missed.<p>Anyone up to programming that?
I think the time would be better spent working on implementing the idea and winning. Once you win, you can stick your tongue out at YC as much as you want. :-)
I'm currently working on a site to help anyone who was rejected from YC (the YNot's), and anyone else, a place to collaborate, find a co-founder, and assist those looking to move to SV. I was also planning on adding a section so people could demo their startup, have them voted on, and receive feedback. Nothing badmouthing YC, but just a place to keep rejected spirits up and give them some incentive to continue working on their startups.
