Your Company Needs Fanboys -- Lots of 'em (mindpetals.com)

Fanboys are the people who not only protect your brand, but also push it. They won't just tell a few people about your service, they'll tell the world.

PG must've already read this article. Think about it.. how many other VC/Angel firms do you know that are generating the kind of buzz that YC has?

Wow.. I just realized that's us. We're the fanboys for YC.


They sure are useful, but I think they're kind of creepy. I've seen them cheerlead beyond all rational basis for other companies, and I think having much of anything to do with them can give you a very warped perspective. It's like they're passing around Dixie cups of rather suspicious Kool-Aid.
