Rapportive is awesome, and this'll make it even better. I just launched the search on HN for a cofounder a couple days ago, and I probably got around 150 emails all in response. Getting a picture, name, location, Twitter, and other details for nearly every email really helped make things more personal and easier to whittle down applicants without intensive googling. Great application.

That was the marriage invite one right ? That's an amazing number of respondents.

Yup, the invite one. Not all were cofounders (probably half were people with advice), and probably half the response for cofounders were people that wouldn't work out due to location. But yes, it was an insane response.

You should write about your experience with that, I'm pretty sure that lots of people here would be interested to hear that and how it worked out for you.
