We do this at CloudPeeps! It's like Crew or a Gigster but for marketing, content and community talent - https://cloudpeeps.com

Yep! This is how we started The Fetch (http://thefetch.com) – a what's happening city guide for professionals to discover local events.

I started it out of Melbourne, Australia and we've gone to 10 cities across the US, Europe and Asia Pac within a year. :)

Have you thought of making the WayBackLetter a section of the HNL? Seems like you already have a great audience that wouldn't mind receiving a few links of all-time HN goodness in it. You could then save the neat WBL domain for multi-purpose cool reads from across the web!

Congrats again on the 100th issue!

Congrats Kale. I've been loving TimeHop lately and think it'll equally apply to non-social content. Is there a way you can scale 'curation'? This is something I'm currently researching for The Fetch...

Also you could sign up for Melbourne's Startup Digest fortnightly enewsletter - it does the curation for you... http://startupdigest.com/

Silicon Beach Melbourne has pretty much died in the arse.

There are also many user groups worth attending depending on your skills/interest.

Not sure who holds the account password - it might be @nedwin. I actually work at the Melbourne-based YC startup Adioso.com. The cofounders Tom and Fenn led the last one a bit.

These threads are worth viewing for info on previous meetups:

February 2010 – http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1091571

October 2009 – http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=849668

The last meetup in Feb was great. FYI – there's a bit of a community around the @ycmelb Twitter account - http://twitter.com/ycmelb

Yeah, having Australian YC founders is awesome for championing our local startup communities too. There was a decent turnout at the the YC Melbourne meetup in February.

Has anyone ever put together a list of female YC founders and their companies? Also, is the trend for female YC founders to be solo-founders?

Congratulations to Tom, Fenn and Andrew on AV3. Great to see an offering like this coming out of Melbourne's startup ecosystem!

Nice first post and like how you've written it in a gender-neutral tone. It kind of depresses me as I envy people who have supporting partners, and feel as an entrepreneurial woman those attributes are harder to come by in a male partner. I know it's generalising, but most guys want to take the centre stage. Do they want to hold the home and emotional front together? Probably not. Sigh... :-)

I'm trying to do exactly the same thing - I recommend using Adioso for flight search and Airbnb for accommodation.

I did a similar thing recently. I had so many things I wanted to work on and no time to do them, especially while working fulltime or being tied to one location. As they say - you can always get money back, but not time or opportunities. It's not a conventional path to take, but it certainly challenges your creativity and willpower. And as Xavier put it – it's about the freedom to say yes.
