Out of curiosity, how many of you use Greplin on a regular basis (> 1x/week)? A great concept and possibly great technology but not something I've gone back to.

- baddox 15y agoI've used it maybe 5 times since I joined the beta early on. It's really slick, and works perfectly, but I'm skeptical just how useful searching these social services can be for anyone. GMail already has amazing search, and the only other social service that I have a decent amount of data in is Facebook, which I rarely need to search. What Greplin-supported services do you guys find the most useful to have searchable?
- jmathai 15y agoThat's probably my experience as well. Email is the only thing I care to search for and GMail has a great search (the occasional slowness doesn't have me fleeing to someone else). There have been times I want to find a tweet from a while ago but my tweets have so little value that I'm okay not finding it and moving on.
- masnick 15y agoI use it when in-app search fails. Sometimes gmail search is atrociously slow or doesn't find what I'm looking for, for some reason. I also have multiple gmail accounts (don't ask why), so Greplin is way easier than searching through them individually. The Chrome extension helps a lot -- I used Greplin less before it was released.
- corin_ 15y agoNot very often, but every now and then I want to find a tweet that I remember reading, and then it's useful.
- revorad 15y agoI've used it a few times and it didn't work all that well. Most recently I searched for a tweet but couldn't find it. That was disappointing.
- beginningend 15y agoit's become a tab i keep open frequently - mostly to look up a file or email quickly. i would use it more if they had a native desktop launcher.
