I'd much rather talk about startup pranking.<p>I worked at a startup that had a shared bathroom with a keypad on it. Somebody had the brilliant idea to tell the new guy the bathroom code was a 16 digit number. It worked because the only respected the last 4 digits to match the passcode. Everybody memorized the 16 digit code and made sure they entered it in when going to the bathroom when the new guy was around. The prank went on long enough that people wanted to see how long they could keep it going.<p>It was eventually spoiled when someone from the neighboring company witnessed the new guy entering the 16 digit code and pointed out the code was only 4 digits. As this was happening, it was witnessed by one of the architects and his cry of "NOOOOOOOOOOOO" could be heard throughout the floor.
I have no qualms with the address, it says exactly what the site does. Perhaps people should read thoroughly.<p>What I have qualms with though, is that you got my country flag wrong. You put a Zambian flag on Zimbabwe.
Heh it really says something about the current macro tech environment when that URL is misread and then everyone is actually disappointed when the site loads and it's not about startup idea pranks.
Is this intended to be searchable? It appears it only shows the top few.<p>Seeing the whole list and offering filtering options might make it a better tool for comparing social uptake and similar things.
very basic question. where does the list of startups come from and how do you know what country a startup belongs to? making a list like this is harder than you think, so im curious to hear how these guys address it.
