Please don't cross post like this.

I had to read the entire site twice to understand what you're doing. I think you're too close to the problem to know how to explain it clearly.

"Grab a persons email and instantly learn all their social media profiles so that you can follow them."

Course then you have the problem that they're most likely not in your database. Once you have the email then you need to contact them, tell them who is trying to reach out and get them to sign up for an account. Then if successful recontact the original poster and tell him the information is now there.

Hopefully you know that there are a couple of dozen startups who have tried to solve the problem and failed. Good luck!

Hey! Did you try to send yourself a test e-mail? What you are talking about is not actually what we are trying to solve :) But thanks for your comment, we will keep trying to make our idea clear for everyone!
