Yes, it would be nice to get feedback, but a lot of people would find a tweet-length rejection insulting. YC doesn't have enough time to make their application process perfect, but it seems to get better every cycle. If you want some feedback to go with your rejection, I think NYC Angels will do it for $150. They probably just tell most people to come back when they are profitable.

So I have this site, where I ask users/customers for input and after I evaluate it, I don't reply to the no winners because I don't have time; I get like 300 responses. Hmmm doesn't sounds like the right approach for any business. Yes, it is "standard" industry behavior, but IMHO not the right one. I could change the qualifying criteria to get fewer and more qaulity inputs that I have more time for etc.
