The human review would certainly cause scalability problems. Amazon.com already does PPA with their book referal program. For instance, they pay their ad publishers only when their users purchase a particular book through their site.

What would be better is a well edited documentary, comparing the two biggest start-up incubators Ycombinator and Techstars.<p>It would be a fantastic promotional documentary for all party's involved.

They'll get tons of VC money soon and they'll need it for the bandwidth bills. More people want to film their lives than want to talk into a fixed camera (i.e. YouTube). You need a little new hardware for this though which hurts. <p>Still, it will be huge. The next YouTube.

Well Google can always put unproven sites on the backburner, sending them very little traffic. 10,000 clicks to sell a Merc is a good point, though, it would take forever. Maybe they could do a backburner system but you can pay to jump the queue? Almost defeats the purpose.

Excellent. I had a lot of fun watching the tail end of the YC dinner last night.<p>I don't think they'll have any trouble getting publicity, considering all Justin has to do is tell all the live viewers Digg a link to his show at a certain time. :-)

There was a documentary done about one of the dot-com busts in 2000. I can't remember the title, but Google may be able to help you.<p>The problem is that most of work starting a startup is <i>boring</i>. So either a documentary distorts what actually goes on and shows you the interesting parts (like the one above), ...

It's very, very cool. I'm in Canada, and it felt like I was at that party.<p>I kept having the strange urge to talk directly to people like pg, Trevor Blackwell, Jessica Livingston, as if Justin were some kind of Telepresence bot, or medium. It's weird to think of him walking around, with all these "spirits" in his hea...

How much of a role will distributed computing play in the continuing evolution of web-based software? Has this method of user involvement been overlooked by web startups or is it just not applicable to many 2.0 products?

Actually, it can work on the same principle as PPC, except the $/click takes time to work out (you have to send traffic to the site to determine how much revenue it gets you). Analagous to your example is Amazon biding $0.00001 per click - they would simply be outbid by sites willing to pay more for the keywords. The o...

Apparently someone used a teletype service (intended for the hearing-impaired) to call police and report a stabbing. Police arrived with guns drawn.<p>( These teletype services are frequently used for credit card fraud as a way for the perpetrator to remain anonymous. )

I'm as optimistic as anyone and hope they do get a lot more attention, but let's not ignore the fact that they're still living off the post-launch high.<p>It remains to be seen if they can move people from novelty to loyal viewers and how big the audience is for this particular show. I'll definitely be tuning in regula...

I don't think their business model is reliant on THIS show being super-sucessful-- they're building a platform to sell to other folks who want to do live video over the web. Think Paris Hilton and porn (not necessarily two different markets).

Thanks for the link jamon. I'm considering setting up something like YC news but for articles about mobile. What do you guys think? Currently the only reliable place for mobile info is carnival of mobilists.

This is EXACTLY what I've been saying. To me, thats just a testing/proving ground. Get some buzz about the idea, and then try to license it to reality tv shows/celebs/iraq war reporter/hot girls/anything else thats more entertaining than startup founders.
