i wonder if this is the yc startup that pg mentioned at the hacker meetup monday night--the one with the idea that initially seemed "kind of crazy". pg?
pg has said that of a few YC startups. Justin.TV was the first I know of (and it did sound pretty damned crazy to start with...now that there are dozens of imitators, it seems perfectly normal).
Reddit was also borderline crazy when they came out - I remember thinking "Interesting idea, but why the hell would anyone use this?" Now a social news site is about as cliche as you can get.
Being borderline crazy actually seems to be a good indicator of success, as long as you're a.) not completely crazy and b.) stick around in the game long enough for other people to come around. I think Tony Wright said as much in one of his posts here...
