I'm almost definitely not the target demographic for this product, presumably meant for businesspeople who need to keep their extensive digital Rolodex up-to-date, but I doubt I would use it even if I were.<p>It's $20 a year to solve a problem that doesn't feel large enough to bother with to me. Does contact information really tend to change that often? When it changes, is it typically completely unannounced? $20/year really a large amount of money, but I don't feel like the price is justified for what this product does.<p>Also, I feel really nervous about handing over the keys to my email account to an unknown company - no offense to the developers intended. They say that no person will access the data, and that it is deleted as soon as it's processed, but as Jeff Atwood says, "your email account is a de-facto master password for your online identity."[1] Google is a well-known and fairly well-trusted company, so I don't really have a problem with them having such access (especially when they have so much to lose, and where they have so many people trusting them already), but I don't really feel safe giving some unknown party free reign over my email like that.<p>Also, would this only allow them access to my email, or to my entire Google profile? Honest question, since I don't know how Google sets such things up.<p>I definitely don't bear these folks any ill will - as I said, I'm <i>not</i> the target here by any stretch of the imagination, and I'm sure it's a fine product for what it's meant to do - but I don't see a huge market for this.<p>[1] <a href="http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2008/06/please-give-us-your-email-password.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2008/06/please-give-us-your...</a>

Seems like a great idea but not something I'd pay for.

Thank you for mentioning WriteThat.Name.<p>I'm sorry if we've hurt anyone sensibility by this joke about Calvin &#38; Hobbes. We'll take it out in our next Design iteration.<p>Regarding market size, we feel that keeping your address book up-to-date is a real issue for most business people. Some of them might still have PA, but most of us don't, and less than $2/month strikes me as fair enough. This is a market space where we are competing with the likes of Plaxo or Xobni.
