#42This is great timing! We just hired a customer support person this week, and we started using HelpScout.net, but we aren't finding that it's very polished.
We're going to give Streak a shot, and hopefully give you some good feedback.
P.S. You are missing a question mark on your home page: "Want to know where the customer is in the sales pipeline."

#43Given that Google might acquire your company, why would you want to provide it with 100% of your sales, support and bug tracking information?
Google's terms of use prevent them from having humans read your data.

#44Exactly what I was looking for! But please, please start charging for your product. I don't want this product to disappear in a year when you run out of funding and still don't have a sustainable business model.
Taking a quick poll here - how much would everyone be willing to pay for this?

I was looking for a similar comment. Not just from an acquisition standpoint, but having all that information right where Google can look at it doesn't sound smart just from a common-sense standpoint.
"What could possibly go wrong?"

Given the choice of
1. spending a few zillion dollars on a lemon of a startup and
2. violating terms-of-use behind your back
do people really believe 1. over 2. is the most likely outcome?

#47Good work, but I think good for Google apps users (only?)....
co-founder of streak here: streak works with both google apps and non apps accounts. We've noticed some of our early users using it for non business purposes as well (task management, event planning, etc).
Exactly how did you "notice" this?

Typos are now fixed!

100% of your sales, support, and bug tracking information will be reflected in the email inbox of your employees.
If you're not hosting your own email servers, all that information is available to some 3rd party.
These companies have contracts in place preventing them from abusing the potential information they can gain, and they usually have a lot more to loose from violating it than what they could gain from cheating like this.

Our users told us. As we were building features, we'd email our users and ask them for feedback.
