Listypedia is like Wikipedia for lists. It is a place for the users to find precise and
concise information about the things they are looking for. It allows users to create and share
lists with their social network. Few examples of the lists could be most scenic places on earth,
things to carry for a camping trip, must have productivity apps for iphone, etc. The items added to the lists will be character limited precise answers. The users will be able to create protected lists that will be visible only to authorized users. Users will be able to create new lists or use existing lists and share it with their network to keep track of what they want or things that should be done as a group by using the list as a checklist.
There will also be curating features where in the list creators and also the curators will be able
to control what goes in to only allow relevant content. It will also allow users to vote and
comment on individual items.
Listypedia will bring in all the good features of yahoo answers, wikianswers and stackoverflow. It
aims at organizing the unorganized content on the web in the form of social comments, blog posts,
etc.
This looks great -- I applied with my co-founder with a social list site as well and didn't get an interview either.
Are you all in the Bay area? We'd love to grab coffee if you're interested -- it sounds like we have a slightly different twist on lists than you do and would love to meet if you're up for it. My email is trippp at gmail.
That's a cool idea. Unfortunately...I find the name rather awkward. Your site looks quite nice, though, best of luck :) Simply applying to YC is an achievement in itself.
Thanks for the positive comment. I have heard not so good things about the name from multiple folks. We are thinking to change it, but until we find a better one we are just going to keep it :)
