here's a suggestion: start immediately with a cool project, like a game or a web server.

Beats the "here's 2+2" type problems.

this leaves the space open for anyone who wants to start a different type of game-hackathon.

mobile version works pretty well. This fb virality thing is nuts.

are ads enough to support your operational costs? Any more ideas moving forward?

i think there's some potential in anonymous feedback for large brands. Build a business development team and go after them.

what about having a 5 million/yr revenue run rate. With "valuation" multiples of 20s, you can get to a value of $100 million.

any meetups planned in October? Which website should I check out for events?

you can also incorporate before applying (if you're serious about the idea). Use services like LegalZoom, they cost around $300-$600.

In the event that you do get into YC, or raise 5-6 figures of seed money, you can always go to a lawyer and reissue stock certs, articles of incorporation, etc.

i suspect it's the free WiFis that require you to comply with their terms and conditions. They probably catch the traffic and inject text ads into the HTML, which arguably is quite clever and malicious.

i'll get more data to confirm this
