We are building a platform network around this idea. we believe that a social network is defined by the places were you are regularly (sport club, work, bar). Our plattform lets you communicate with the people at those places even if you are at a rock concert.
The index.htm page crashes in Chrome (Version 21.0.1180.89) with the "Aw, Snap!" error.
The issue seems to be the direct manipulation of the ".class" attribute of some object in JS.
Not sure why you got down voted, seemed like valid info.
Of course being twisted in the way that I am twisted, it also generated a thought about 'real time digital signage.'
There are lots of trucks on the freeway, they drive along at night from point A to point B, so how cost effective would it be to put a very high mileage car to drive along behind them and optically stabilize the projection of signage on the back of the truck? (I saw the building projections and thought, those are pretty cool) Imagine you're driving down the freeway and you see a billboard for a restaurant which is available in a couple of miles.
Trucks could do this on themselves, perhaps it would offset the cost of gas. Imagine a unit that used GPS to know where it was and an arm that extended out the back and projected on the truck a location sensitive billboard. Either way it would be a fun hack.
On the application instructions page, the original 'how to make a YC application video' is the pitch video for Directed Edge -- both of whom were out of Berlin.
I'm not so sure - historically only people from the US , UK, Canada & Australia seem to have made it in. I don't blame them - being from one of these places significantly simplifies the whole visa stuff.
Depending on how your company is formed could make a big difference. Keep in mind that YC is investing $10-20K in your company, so it may not be appealing if there are $40K in legal costs to create an entity that they could invest in.
