YC '06 implies two calendar years without revenue, right? That might be gutsy, it might be insane, or it might be a little of both.

I wish them the best of luck in convincing some of the users to pay the piper.

I love their site. Balloono is ridiculously addicting. Their API is pretty cool too. I'm hoping that latency won't kill the prospects of games on a mobile platform.

Awesome, they have a good product... I think I agree with the name change. I'minlikewithyou just does not work well for a consumer-facing social gaming site, IMO.

Didn't it start off as a dating site? I thought that was why the name was what it was.

Yeah it did and that's my point — the name doesn't fit.

Hahah! A bunch of my friends (a dozen or two) have been telling me to try it, and half of my high school class seems to love it. Never knew it was from YC - nice to see YC start-ups being popular. :D

Congrats on making a great site and good luck.

And i thought tetris was addicting. I was just getting going with that head-to-head version on their site and i heard footsteps. Ahh well.
