Thanks for your pretty thorough review of all of Ycombinator's companies. As the founders of pollground though, we feel we should quickly clarify one of your statements about pollground. We certainly didn't decide all at once to "work on Pollground during the holidays" preplanning to "go back to school". It became clear after a few months that this startup, like the majority of most startups anywhere, had limited prospects of being a million-dollar-success story, so we decided to pause the startup and resume school. In fact, Pollground hasn't closed down as still has open deals with other companies for further development. Again, we found this article to be great overall, and just wanted to clarify that point.
