I hadn't heard of this startup, but it's a really cool idea that seems simple to implement. Those are my favorite kinds of ideas.

My advice is to keep emails short and try to focus on as few different points as possible - this will get you a much quicker response. I tend to request confirmations a lot (i.e. "can you confirm x") to make sure there's a sh
