Looking for partner in NYC area
Not sure if this is kosher or not, but I figured I'd throw it out there.
I am looking for one or two other people in the NYC area that are interested in partnering up to create a startup. I already have an idea (and a very rough, but working demo), but I am open to changing it. Also, I am interested in people who might want to take part in this summer's YC session.
Again, sorry if posting requests like this isn't acceptable, but I'd rather not go at this alone. If you have any interest in discussing things further, please email me at jason.m.falk@gmail.com. Thanks.

He's also from NYC and seems to have a lot to say lately. Don't know if you 2 would ever see eye to eye on anything, but you'd both probably learn SOMETHING from meeting.
All you said, I have an idea, want to do something, and have some kind of demo?
What kind of demo, what kind of idea (not to be specific, but generic enough so people know if it is something it might interest to them, or it is just some outlandish waste of time).
You could replace your sentence with: It would be cool to commute faster to work, I'd like to build a flying car, I have a paper drawn prototype of it.
I think this kind of thing should be encouraged a lot more. Some kind of geography - matching would help foster a more mature community. hackrtrackr.com tried it, but I think it would work better if it were built into the system. Maybe a link on top called "local" that would somehow connect me to people around my major city (which I specify in the settings)?
^ more details in posts like this are a good idea, also. I think secrecy in startups seems to be overrated, but from the way YC tends to do business, they seem to disagree. I guess they reason it's better to err on the side of secrecy, and I'm probably irrationally biased because of the political associations of the word, but in this case, it seems like a good idea to talk freely.
Anyways, it wasn't so much that I was trying to be secretive, but like I said, I am willing to change the idea and didn't want to scare anyone off by mentioning anything in particular and I think that seems to have worked out nicely cause I have been talking to someone for a little and we are changing around the idea already, to something we both think is better. So that was where I was coming from.
