Rap Genius gets a (YC) tag, but Heroku don't?

I've always wondered whether the cut-off is time- or success-based. Maybe pg should write a Boolean return function for that. :P

Big props to Rap Genius for explaining the problem so plainly in the article. Unfortunately, many people of prominence in tech aren't even capable of talking about what they do to laymen.

RE: YC Tag - I think it is because Heroku was acquired.

Dropbox don't get the treatment either. It's not that I mind, it's just funny to see the irregularity of labelling.

Probably because people forget how many companies YC fostered.

Or perhaps Heroku and Dropbox are famous enough that posters assume people already know they were fostered by YC and don't tag accordingly.
