This is something we are working on actually. I looked at it as an HR task that everyone in the company has to complete - you know its going to be a task so why not just send the task rather than the email?

I agree some metadata would make life easier, but we are trying to simplify the process of extracting the data from an email and getting it where it needs to be quickly and easily.

We are experimenting with different ways to do make this easy for the user, which is why we need feedback from users who have a different background than our own.

Sadly you can't write email for programmers and expect everyone else to understand it :(

That is great for me but not so great for those who aren't techies.

Any popular MMO eventually draws in real money for in-game money purchases, so why not just make it part of the game (and allow for both) and use part of the monetary purchases to lower costs for everyone?

Are there any ways to limit to specific categories or other criteria or is it totally random? I could see more use if it allowed filtering (eg under $10 in "Toys->Action Figures")

I second this. Think about all the hype and excitement he is building simply be releasing a processor instruction set. Pure marketing genius =D.

Is there anyway to make sure you start with specific people?

Awesome job on the game :)

Are you planning on interning while in school? That would probably be significantly easier (especially at a startup that possibly can't afford to pay as much) if you were in SV.

Not that there aren't internship opportunities at Harvard, but I believe there are more near Stanford (with no evidence to support it, so feel free to ignore me).

Do they have to offer any incentives aside from the simplicity of filling out forms once?

leaky.com gives real-time data as you change your policy. If you want to compare a $250 and $500 deductible, you can see how that affects every insurance provider at once (instead of changing it on all 5 sites individually and manually comparing). That alone is worth going through leaky instead of the supplier directly.

I don't know of any sites that do this directly. Are you looking for personal bookmarks or a way to share sites with people? The two are a little different in my mind.

The original article has a reference to your blog at the top (at least it did when I checked).

I'm not 100% sure what you are asking for, but try kippt.com

eat24hours.com does this well in some places.

My hours tend to be 10pm-2am but most of that is probably due to the lack of distractions. Everyone in my house is asleep at 10pm and I have no interruptions.

Is this the same case for others who are working late nights?
