I'd add type="email" to your input to make it easier to sign up on mobiles.

I would have serious privacy concerns about this. You are basically allowing a 3rd-party to read your email.

You are basically allowing a 3rd-party to read your email. 4th party. Most of their target audience is probably on GMail and has no privacy concerns to begin with.

Fair point. I don't disagree. It just bothers me to see how what little privacy we have left continues to erode.

I'm not sure how they compare, but a friend of mine's company does something similar: http://www.awayfind.com

They provide similar filters and suggest filters from your communication behavior. E.g., you consistently respond to Peter Norvig quickly, perhaps you want an alert.

Isn't Gmail a second party? If so, they are a third party.
