It's always so cool seeing faces behind these different things!

(I mean, it's also cool seeing the various demos, obviously. But I like seeing the people who've made all this.)

EDIT: Also, after going through the gallery... DivvyShot trio, you guys make me smile.

I want to hug the divvyshot team. http://divvyshot.com/photo/hCqLm/

From what I seen in the photos, wattvision seems interesting.

I don't get it http://divvyshot.com/photo/3ambV/

The hacker house has a new housemate (David from VentureBeat). We thought we'd give him a warm welcome by picking him up from the airport.

He paid us back by uploading a photo of us to the Demo Day event.

I know I'm overreplying to stuff you're saying, so I apologize for adding noise to your threads, but how did you guys all coordinate the hacker house? And how has that worked out for you guys, versus the people who've looked for apartments, both financially and socially?

John and I organized Hacker House. It was a little nerve racking as the rent was $4.5k split between us. Thankfully, the place filled up quickly. There's 4.5 rooms and 9 people sleeping here tonight. It's a little cheaper than a regular place (we're paying $500-$900 per person).

Socially: I love it. There's almost always someone coding in the main area, 24hrs / day. Also, there's always someone to go to University Ave with and grab something to eat.

We're actually moving the place up to SF in May. If anyone's interested, send me an email: sam / at / odio / dot / com.

Sam, too bad it didn't show up live :-)

Great preso, we all thoroughly enjoyed

The "finally" in the ad at the top is very annoying. I've always been able to "share & syncronize hi-res photos among friends!".

Maybe divvyshot does it better, but there's no "finally" about it.

I removed that line. Thanks for the suggestion.

Divvyshot is the only way everyone in a group can easily upload hundreds of photos to one place. There are competing products such as MobileMe and Troovi, but they aren't easy or free.

Once we figure out a way to communicate that in 5 words, we'll put that up there instead.

"Everybody's pictures in one place."

"The gang's all here."

"Shared and in sync - always." (Alternative - "Always shared and always synced.")

This is awesome! Will there be a video somewhere of the YC Demo Day?

They don't make the presentations public. A reporter over the summer session took video, after being told not to, and won't be invited back.

Suggestion to the Divvyshot team - slideshow mode.

I'm eating some pasta, and I'd enjoy looking through these photos while eating, without having to press the arrow keys to navigate. So have a "play" mode which goes through a set of photos automatically, with X seconds between photos.

Is anyone else attending tomorrow?

Any blog post on the companies yet?
