Sort of true, in the sense that the product isn't separately trained for sales emails vs personal emails vs internal business emails, etc. But the calculations we chose don't provi…

Declaring that somebody is falsely claiming to use ML without looking at their product is a bit irresponsible ;) The positivity, subjectivity, and politeness calculations are all o…

Thanks, Borski! We're really excited about the new tools - it's been a ton of fun figuring out how to combine the machine learning algorithms to get them to spit out actionable adv…

It's seed funding. The seed funding ecosystem is a vortex of death in Boston. We (Boomerang) moved to San Francisco after going 0/34 with Boston investors. It took less than 30 day…

Of course! It's one of my favorite parts of the company story! http://baydin.com/blog/2010/10/the-100k-taxi-ride/

Having raised our seed round in part by giving Dave McClure a ride to his mechanic, I think this is a great idea!

Yup. I wrote a version to do this when Fred Wilson requested it a little over a year ago and I realized I needed it too: https://script.google.com/d/1B8YC4D7KT7pZKXyq3TkfJUJPv1mmjZ…

Way back when we were just starting to think about Baydin, Xobni was one of the models for how we could build a company based on an email plugin. Their tech was so cool -- we'd nev…

This is awesome news. We got 3 top-flight interns from InternMatch this year, so I can't wait to start hiring full time this way.

I love it. For decades, my flame war offensives against the evil crusaders of Emacs have stalled out against their Maginot Line of "But Emacs can be your mail client too!" This is …

A little late to the party here, but Boomerang doesn't do anything at all except for when you Boomerang something and when it's scheduled to be sent/returned. The rest of the time,…

Inbox Pause is also quite a bit easier and less technical, I think! If you want to do this manually, the filter above will probably let stuff slip through on some percentage of acc…

You might want to check out our core product, Boomerang. You just choose a date when you want to see an email again. It kicks the message into a label until that time, then brings …

Can you send us an email as well? We tested on Lion before release this morning, and everything seemed OK on our end

I think you're right about email as a protocol. There are a couple reasons I think we'll continue to read most of our messages, though: * If the automatic parser misfires on one ou…

uh oh, that's not what's supposed to happen. Can you install other extensions? If so, please email us at support@baydin.com and we'll see if we can help out.

awesome, thanks! we'd like to have the locations dialog remember your previous entries (and making your phone number one of those options is a great idea) in a future update.

Should have put the code in the post title. Sorry about that! Use the invite code 'showhn' (no quotes) to skip the line :)

cool, let us know how it works for you!

Hahaha, I'm glad somebody noticed! We figured none of them would complain :)

If security is a big concern and you like the MSDOS-in-the-cc-field interface for this sort of thing (I like a menu, datepicker, and natural language input, but I'm obviously biase…

nope, the uber just took a really long time to show up. :) we moved out to silicon valley (from Boston) in December, and had the round spoken for within a month. we just took our t…

If you think this one is bad, you should have seen the OLD demo video! We just added a paid subscription tier (pay-what-you-think-is-fair pricing) with the new launch, and a better…
