Good 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).

I'm using it today for both and i like it.also, im blown away with snippets. the shortcuts to access them is genius too. i've now begun to remove clippings and other add-ons that i've used for this specific feature.

Login screen is showing an odd domain name, apps.googleuserscontent.com, is requesting authorization to my account. The site XXXXX.apps.googleusercontent.com is requesting access to your Google Account for the product(s) listed below

That's a Google domain, and the numbers represent a specific Chrome extension... in this case, Streak.

This looks incredibly useful and well designed. I've shown my CEO; perhaps we'll be incorporating Streak soon. Two copy niggles:

"Streak is great for sales, but did you know you can also use it for: hiring candidates, handling email support, organizing dealflow, fundraising and organizing your personal projects."

This is a question - add a question mark to the end (bonus, invented by Dr. Evil)

"We put indicators right in your inbox to show you which emails have to do with which deals you are working on."

Awkward / run-on. Try - We added email indicators showing you the association to the deals on which you are working. (remove the wordy noun modifiers and prepositional phrases)

Exactly 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 would pay between 9 and 19 per user

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Google's terms of use prevent them from having humans read your data.

> Google's terms of use prevent them from having humans read your data. 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?

They would have to play their hand at behind the scenes knowledge of your actual figures somewhat openly for this to work. That would be disastrous for them.
