it's creepy. if you didn't have a form-fill inviting people to give you their first names, you missed the opportunity to address your followers by name. lesson learned for consideration next time. you should also be thoughtful about how much email you send to someone, if you didn't put that form alongside a fairly explicit opt-in. If the form said, "notify me when you launch," that's not the same as "please feel free to market to me indefinitely." When we recently launched, I had a similar list, to which I sent 1 (one) email only, and in that email stated that it would be the only email they received from me without further opt-in. We got multiple appreciative comments in response.
