really nice tool, having to enter an email address really kind of confuses things. I think maybe that should be indicated on the form.
The reason why it asks for an email to start is so we can know uses the tool. It's nice to know people rather than decipher the black hole that is google analytics.
The tool works by first checking if the user had tweeted their email in some form, thats the easiest way to find their email. If they didn't then it will check to see if they posted it on their personal website. Still couldn't find it? It will then check where they work and check their work address. The confidence in the email is based on where the email was found.
