Should be ready next week in time for YC interview fingers crossed! The bookmarks should be fixed now. @hellobabul The mock-ups were actually done a while back but right now we’re working on a functioning prototype.

Just put scoopler up on the live internet and let user demand determine the direction to take and features to build. That way you can really build what people really want and focus your energy into development and user experience rather than trying to create concepts that may not be wanted (yet) as they do not add value (yet). At least at this stage it will save you lots of time and energy :D Good luck in Silicon Valley and hope the YC/Paul Graham pitch runs smooth although you don't have anything to worry about as you and D will definetly get into YC even if not with the original scoopler concept. Take care, Babul. Hi AJ,
