This is one of those times it makes me sad that YC is so unconventional/lean (though I understand the decision and I'm not sure I'd do anything different in their shoes).  If they hired a young/good writer whose job it was to maintain and curate a list and profile page for each company as well as post "where are they now?" posts for the 6 month survivors who want to be profiled, it would be a nice SEO/awareness boon for the young companies.  It would also be a good/easy reservoir of reporter-targets (anything that helps reporters be lazy is good, IMO).<p>Of course, that content/awareness/traffic would also help spread the word about YC.  I'm still stunned at how many geeks I talk to who have never heard of it.
