Pandodaily linkbait. There is nothing new or interesting in this article. It mentions a few of the YC companies in this batch that already launched and recycles various information about them. It wouldn't surprise me if some companies were a bit put off by the description in that article, too.

I guess this year the Top X YC Companies posts start even before demo day...

FYI, I'm not part of any of the above listed companies. I just thought it was an interesting article that's all. I've never even heard of some of these companies until I read that article.

Sorry to go off topic.

Is there any particular reason you sign each comment with your name? I've started noticing this trend recently and I can't wrap my head around why its done.

Very humbled to have Sponsorfied mentioned. I'd also like to point out that while only 8 are mentioned here, there are many amazing teams in our class who are hard at work for demo day and beyond. Looking forward to the world getting to see them all.

How is PandoDaily making money?

posting to hn probably accounts for much of their advertising revenue.

I'm a big fan of Amicus. Smart team of guys and the non-profit space is definitely ripe for disruption, even though less people focus on it because it's not considered "sexy".

The article mentions some of the already launched companies in YC S'12 batch.

There are many amazing companies that are yet to be announced, but I think the article did a great job of shedding some light on what's happening in YC this summer. An information that is usually kept secret until after Demo Day.

Clever rocks!

Great implementation solving a big problem.

unfortunately about 80% of the Light Table bit is wrong :(
