YCombinator announces newest class with FlightCaster, Mixpanel aboard

YCombinator, the Silicon Valley start-up incubator, launched its latest class of companies today. I'll update as I learn more, but here is the initial list of companies:

FlightCaster: Predicts flight delays up to six hours before airline notifications (pictured right).

RethinkDB: A database engine optimized for solid-state drives.

DailyBooth: "Twitter for pictures." A social network for documenting your life.

JobPic: A marketplace where service providers auction off what they can do, similar to Elance. What makes JobPic different is that, sellers can suggest services instead of leaving all the power to buyers to define what the market demands.

Mixpanel: A real-time analytics platform that tracks how users engage with web applications.

JobSpice: An online tool for creating a resume.

HighlightCam: Takes long videos and automatically condenses them to the most interesting parts.

Olark: A chat widget that makes it easy to add live chat to a Web site without editing a single Web page.

Bump Technologies: A technology that lets you connect two mobile devices by bumping them together. You can send photos to another phone user with just a bump.

Api.gy: A provider of home safety and automation devices that are accessible via the Web.

RentHop: Tries to beat Craigslist in the apartment rental market with more specific search features and a function that lets you schedule showings.

FanChatter: Enables brands to engage with consumers during sporting events and conferences.

Listia: An auction site for free stuff.

Directed Edge: A real-time recommendations engine.
