On: To Applicants: Has Y Combinator looked at your demo?

[juwo]

And how would we know if they have?

[Goladus → juwo]

Check your web server logs (or whatever traffic measurement tool you have) to see if the links you sent have been requested.

I have sent my links to several people.

Check your hosts and referers for domains that look like yCombinator. You are using a traffic-analysis tool like Webalizer or AWStats, right?

(Even if you aren't, you can still get them by grepping the access log. It's just harder to compile statistics.)

what fields should I grep for, that will tell me they were pleased with my demo?

[staunch → juwo]

Timestamps and total page views.

[juwo → staunch]

I was joking!
