I think it's pretty cool, but this is less of a product than a feature, and it's not something I'd be willing to spend money for.

Based on the three use cases you describe on the website (I dont know... there may be more?), if this product took off, Google could kill it by adding time-based filters and availability-based filters (which could possibly tie in with a user's GTalk's status).

thanks for the feedback! we won't be just limited to gmail (but yes google could roll out these specific features). The idea is that it works as a platform for you to setup your own channels based on your email habits, you can use the web hooks to tie into services you already use and help automate your existing processes.

The features we've adding on the landing page are examples of how it can be used, rather than specifics.
