#12There is definitely a lot of room for a lightweight, "bottom-up" CRM app out there that's focused on usability. I think Dropbox has handily proven that this sort of thing can get peppered across companies without a top-down, sales-driven deployment which is what Salesforce is.

#13This is interesting but it also means I would have to use gmail.
What's wrong with that?

You're relying two different services to run your business, which can be gone away in a moment.
- If you're not in US, your goverment can shut down Gmail ( for ex. because google is trying to evade tax. )
- Streak can be sold to anycompany which just want to push their services.
Streak should actually be something like Thunderbird extension with RDBMS running in background

#15We've been using Streak at Entelo and we're very happy. The "social integration" provided by most CRM systems is lacking and when you combine Streak and Rapportive inside of GMail/Google Apps, it's really quite powerful. The CRM landscape feels like it's undergoing a change somewhat similar to what happened a decade ago when cloud-based providers like Salesforce disrupted incumbents like Siebel. Salesforce, while a v…
I've been using Rapportive forever -- I am actually surprised there aren't more startups trying to eat Salesforce's $65-200 per seat per month lunch.

#16I voted this story up because I want somebody to kick Salesforce's ass.

#17I wonder how hard it would be to also support self-hosted mail users (with a webmail client talking imap, or ideally something which works with mutt).

The most popular email client is Outlook with iOS devices in second place (as of June 2011). Although if you combine Hotmail + Yahoo Mail + GMail the total marketshare beats Outlook.

#19It looks like it works for few people. But honestly i think people are hyping it for whatever reason..I have tried it for a week. It is not simple and i don't recommend to others. - for instance, you need to create a box for each incoming email in where other tracking systems you can set a queue.
if you want simple, just use the labels in gmail or get a tracking system. this one is neither here nor there.

#20I've been one of Streak's biggest advocates for a while now-- I use it for everything. In particular, it's been extremely helpful for hiring, fundraising, and business development at MixRank. I highly recommend it.
I like how it can apply to all the use cases you mention above, and also how they have a variety of demo videos on their website demonstrating them. About to try it out now for my startup.
