I have an idea. Within 72 hours you have to hack into the Y Combinator servers and mark your application as "invite to interview". Do that and you get an interview :)

Disclaimer: if you're not sure what :) means, please google it before proceeding with the above suggestion.

Anyway I'm just joking. Your post is a nice way to get noticed. Good luck with your application!



Have you ever tried googling for an emoticon...?

Based on the second item of that list, might soon get some emoticon love on Google search.


"Your search - :) - did not match any documents. Suggestions: Try different keywords."

Which is a pretty unsatisfactory result, really. If I came across :) and didn't know what it meant, Googling for just that is a natural action.
