Also on a serious note: I'm not sure this post is going to help you get in. You might be thinking so but I might say that it could set you back a bit. PG can't deposit your passion in the bank. He's out to find great scalable ideas that can be turned into profitable businesses being run by efficient and smart people.

YC is not some kind of beauty pageant and it's not a make or break situation for your business. Posting up the rejection letter in your office? Don't be obsessed with Ycom. If you make it, that's great, you can get a lot of good resources and you've essentially got the seal of approval from angel investors. If Not? No big deal! Build the product, bring it to market, get active users and make sure that it's a profitable business that can stay profitable even at a scaling point. If you do this much, you'll get good attention and will find yourself raising seed money.
