<p><strong>No fury like a start-up scorned</strong>. The Second Annual <strong><a href="http://nycstartupjobfair.com/">NYC Startup Job Fair</a></strong> burned about 80 start-ups today with an insensitive CC instead of BCC on the email notifying companies they'd been <strong>rejected</strong>. <strong>Rent The Runway, 10gen, Get Glue, Tenka, Pixable, Snap Interactive, Food52 </strong>and <strong>Boxee </strong>were just some of the start-ups shut out of the event. The scorned start-ups are starting their own<strong><a href="http://twitter.com/#!/startupjobsny"> counter-fair</a></strong>, and according to the Google Group, <strong>Fred Wilson wants to help. </strong>So who did get accepted? <strong>SecondMarket, Gawker, Meetup, Yipit, Popdust, Brainscape, NewsCred, Shapeways, Lot18</strong> and <a href="http://nycstartupjobfair.com/startuplist/">others</a>. Check Betabeat in the morning for more coverage of this developing story.</p>
<p><strong>Returns:</strong> New York's <strong>Tutorspree</strong> (founded fall of 2010, <strong>Airbnb of tutoring</strong>, etc., etc.) has been getting some hot news off the presses in New York. <strong><em>The Wall Street Journal </em></strong>and <em><strong>The New York Post </strong></em>recently gave the <strong>Y Combinator-funded</strong> company <a href="http://blog.tutorspree.com/">some love</a>, and we hear the founders are missing New York and plan to move back after the program ends. Founder <strong>Aaron Harris</strong> was in the city for the weekend. "New York City. City of dreams...and snowy rain," he <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/aaronkharris/status/53816058498383872">tweeted</a>. We miss you too!<br />
<strong>The long arm of social media has embraced our dear friend Daniel.</strong> Journalism developer, conference live-tweeter and new media whiz kid <strong>Daniel Bachhuber</strong> is back on Facebook and Twitter after a five-month hiatus that was supposed to be permanent. "<strong>Deleted my Twitter account.</strong> Made it to 8,234 tweets, 401 following, 2,056 followers, and 209 lists (for what that’s worth) over three years. I’ve deleted my Facebook account as well. <strong>Open systems need more of my attention</strong>, and it’s time to vote with my feet," he <a href="http://danielbachhuber.com/2010/10/25/liberation/">wrote</a> in October, prompting <strong>bemusement from the <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/zseward/status/9380453903499265">peanut gallery</a></strong>. (The next day's post: "<a href="http://danielbachhuber.com/2010/10/26/witty-things-i-wouldve-said-on-twitter-today/">Witty things I would have said on Twitter today</a>.") Being left out was too inconvenient, he told Betabeat. "Yes, you can call me a <a href="http://danielbachhuber.com/2010/10/25/liberation/">hypocrite</a>. Yes, I’m still a firm believer in portable data and identity. <strong>Pragmatism won out over idealism</strong>," he <a href="http://danielbachhuber.com/2011/03/31/im-back-on-facebook-and-twitter/">blogged</a>.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>What's cool.</strong> Did 4chan founder <strong>Chris Poole</strong> really get <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/ninakix/status/53868966136905728">dinner</a> with enduring heartthrob and <strong>Sean Parker-</strong>poseur <strong>Justin Timberlake</strong> on <strong>April Fool's Day</strong>? Do those two people speak the same language?</p>
<p><strong>Reddit #CanGetIt.</strong> Comedian <strong>Donald Glover</strong> conducted a lukewarm <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/giicn/iama_donald_glover/">Ask Me Anything</a> on Reddit today. "I'm not gonna be on here a ton. I gots work to do, homies. But I wanted to do a little," he wrote to fans. Still, the effort gave founder <strong>Alexis Ohanian</strong> <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/kn0thing/status/55006975771160576">the swoons</a>.<br />
<strong>21st century voyeurism.</strong> Foursquare's <strong>Tristan Walker</strong> had lunch at <strong>Color</strong>! How do we know? <a href="http://color.com/s/7ArR91I">Technology</a>. We're thinking a <strong>themed Tumblr</strong>, sourced entirely from Color: <strong>"Pictures of People <a href="http://color.com/photo/serve?id=143518660100">Mid-Sandwich</a>."</strong> Do you love it?</p>
