It might be interesting to allow viewers to control imaginary friends that can interact with Justin. Only he and the viewers would be able to see and hear them.

I've changed the title to make this more clear.

It's completely optional. You would have to explicitly ask for it. This is intended for founders who are not getting any funding from YC.

Why not do both?

It should be clear that there's a direct link to the startup prototype. For example: username, prototype link, brief prototype description

It's a way to promote your startup so that you can get users and/or find cofounders. And perhaps more angels/VCs would check out your startup as well.

I think what's important is to do some preliminary user testing to see if people can even understand what the application is all about. Of course, if you are trying to keep your idea secret, then this…

For a domain specific social news site, you could have a combination of general IQ testing along with domain specific knowledge testing.
comment
There are benefits to ongoing IQ testing. First, this allows the community to raise or lower the bar for continued participation on the site. Second, it limits cheating whereby you have a smart friend…
comment
Yet another variation involves an IQ filter so that you can filter out submissions and links submitted by dumb people. You could even do it with votes as well, so that a link submitted by a high IQ us…
comment
There is no standard test to be used. The questions are created by members of the community. To vote/submit/comment, you will need to answer one of these questions chosen at random. If you don't get…
