W12 applicants: remember, your participation in YC isn't something you necessarily want to publicise straight away. Announcing you are YC funded is a press story in its own right (here's our story from when we announced our YC participation: http://techcrunch.com/2011/01/31/lanyrd/ ) - you should hold on to the story until the right moment.

Just something to bear in mind.

It's easy to be overwhelmed by excitement. I'm sure everyone will appreciate the reminder.

Also having issues; after logging in through google no people appear and I can't type in the chat box; tried twitter and got some sort of socket error after hitting 'sign in'.

Using twitter gave me a socket error, Google worked.

I logged into my Facebook account to participate in the chat and now the site refuses to function. Anyone else having a similar problem?

Thats odd. I would clear cookies and then try a different auth method.

so exactly when are we getting our emails? or will the list be published online?

A list of accepted/rejected applicants will not be published. As simonw notes[1], it's often useful to keep your acceptance confidential until you're ready for press.

Also do they email the whole team?

AFAIK, no. just the main contact..
