By all accounts, Y Combinator's latest Demo Day held last month for its Winter 2012 class was a biggie. With 66 companies presenting their apps, it was pretty impossible to name a startup that was the clear star of the group. But judging from the buzz I've heard over the past few weeks, Socialcam, a mobile app for shooting, editing, and sharing smartphone videos, certainly emerged as one of the standout companies from this latest YC batch -- at least in the eyes of the venture capital investor set. That's why we were pleased have the chance to talk with Socialcam's co-founder and CEO Michael Seibel last week when we visited Founders Den, the co-working space in downtown San Francisco. Watch the interview above to hear Seibel talk about how Socialcam looks at growth just two weeks at a time, why they chose to work in Founders Den rather than renting out their own office, why now is an extremely good time to be a tech startup founder, and more. Of course, something big has happened since we sat down with Seibel: Now that Instagram has been snapped up by Facebook in an eye-popping $1 billion deal, it's become even more clear that the excitement around apps like Socialcam may just be getting started.gop debate republican debate lewis black kirkwood chris brown and rihanna nightline brady quinn
