Good luck for Socialcam! Just got an email for from them.

But, please, never send mass mail without an unsubscribe link. Never. It is actually against US law. And its bad user experience. Otherwise, users will not trust their emails for a beta program of next YC startup.

Sorry, that was an oversight. Won't happen again.

That's some nifty navigation you've got going on there.

Dustin Curtis made it!

Somehow I could tell. Also, love the jquery scroll to plugin, and the large images. Nice work!

Very amused they have a pull quote from Mel Gibson. (If you click through to the airbnb page for the island.)

Congrats! I had a blast at the SocialCam launch party. Too bad I can't be at SXSW, good luck everyone!

Great idea and contest page.

Strangely, Airdnb and Hipmunk are only briefly mentioned without even their logos or links to their sites...

WE'LL NEVER FORGIVE THEM!!!1!

Just kidding!

What do you think of this in-flight-graphic or designer Shaun Sanders knocked out? Pretty rad, eh? http://blog.hipmunk.com/your-guide-to-a-private-island-vacat...

I can't get over how pretty Dustin Curtis' landing page is, though.

Ah, we pushed the wrong version of the site; this will be fixed shortly!
