Are there any Twitter apps funded by Y Combinator?

My answer to Are there any Twitter apps funded by Y Combinator? on Quora

http://lanyrd.com/ was originally a Twitter app (required Twitter for signin and social graph) back when we were funded by YC. We didn’t really think of ourselves as a “Twitter app” though, and I don’t think that aspect if the service was influential in getting accepted in to YC.
