Looks like a less expensive version of the Embody, which is a good thing. I've got an Embody at home and at work and won't sit in anything else. I think this will be a good replacement for all those Areons out there. Attractive, c

Based on the wording on the page, it doesn't appear that time is the most important factor in qualification (other than meeting the deadline, of course). I'm sure they're looking for quality applicants, considering this is a

Am I right in boiling this down to "outsourced BDRs", or is there more to it than that? Finding quality talent in that space is tough, so hats off to you for finding a good team and scaling up the business. My company (SalesLoft)

Dammit, I completely read the article wrong. Labs wasn't capitalized, so I didn't grok it correctly. Well, it saves you clicking on the article if you just came straight to the comments...

There's also a Gmail Labs feature to display unread message count in the favicon ("Unread message icon by Manu C"). That is both super-useful and fixes the favicon issue.
