My friend Tycho, instead of going out for the halloween party created http://startups.org for the startup community, now that's love.

I'm just impressed he got/had the startups.org domain!

I think the cofounder list has potential to become something useful, not to mention if the feedback from the community is good, it can be developed into something real nice.

How in the world did he get that domain name?

I've had it on back order through snapnames, namejet and pool since before summer! The previous registrant was also unresponsive :P

Did he shell out some big bucks for it?

Anyway, despite my utter surprise at this I wish you luck.

clickable: http://startups.org/

Very clean interface. Love that.

Should the co-founder list get long, would someone have to scroll and read through all the entries? I think adding some quick fields like "Technical/Non-technical" or language-specific lists along with filters would be pretty easy to implement to help organize the data. Don't go overboard though and turn into partnerup.com

Again, loving the simplicity of use and minimalist styling. Nice work!

In case you'd like to use it for future projects, it's Twitter's Bootstrap.

I like it – would love to hear more about what motivated your friend to do that for us.
