A couple of comments/ideas/suggestions/feel free to ignore me/etc...<p>1. The lack of sign in button is confusing (this can be solved by simply renaming 'Go' to 'Login')<p>2. I've been waiting for etacts to finish importing whatever it is importing for almost 6 hours, and with no ETA / status bar / email update I'm inclined to feel that it's either not working, is heavily bottle necked, or something went wrong<p>3. Assuming the system is actually just busy doing all the processing on my emails, as an end user I would prefer it to do all this in the background, in a manner that is oblivious to me.<p>4. This means you could/should display 'incomplete' information, as long as it comes with the warning of 'We've still got XXXXXX emails to process' or something similar :)<p>I really just wanted to see what the interface/experience is like, regardless of exactly how much information you've processed (i.e. I'm ok with seeing a 'last contacted 3 years ago' message, even though I contacted them yesterday, because I realize you're still processing the information, but I want to see it now, not five hours from now :)<p>You do a great job at a very simple one-click login/signup, but having to wait forever to use this will (imo) lose a lot of people down the road who just "want to try it" (one of the best quotable comments I've heard a few weeks ago was from one of the founders of BackType -- "Your biggest enemy is the back button")<p>Anyway, I do look forward to using it asap :D

This is a big deal. I'm not going to share my Gmail password with anyone (except my wife, maybe) - which was too bad, because Etacts is a really useful service. Now I'm able to sign up without giving them my password. Hopefully other mail providers will do the same thing.

To be clear, you still need to give Etacts your password IF you use Google Apps (not simply gmail), right?

Has there been an announcement on general availability of Gmail OAuth? Found the techcrunch article about an expected announcement, but no announcement as of yet.

First I've heard of etacts. Aside form their actual product, I'm more interested in them as a Ycombinator company, because I can't imagine what the growth/exit strategy for this type of company is. It seems to me that YC is looking for smart people that can crunch a bunch of data. In that sense, they are competing directly with hedge funds for talent.<p>So if you're smart, know some stats, and crunch a bunch of data for a few years, I'll bet you can then turn your collective brain power and IP and any problem you choose.

Are other people getting a revoked certificate error when accessing this with Chrome? Firefox doesn't complain, but Chrome 5.0 on Ubuntu is all over it.

FYI: Finding it odd that there is no "sign in" button.<p>Tried putting my e-mail address back-in on the home page and I get "need oauth token"

Is it just me, or is Etacts really dog-slow?
