We've definitely been thinking along those lines as far as the wishlist goes. We want to explore ways to make the site more social.

Thanks for the tip on the SenSEO add-on. I hadn't seen that before. It looks like we're doing pretty well in quite a few areas, but could also still use some tweaking in others (especially keyword relevance).

Thanks for taking a look, Scott. If you register, one of the many benefits is you get to decide how many items are displayed per page. So you can set it to 100, for example, and therefore have far fewer pages to explore. There's also the list of subcategories on the left, if you wish to drill down and get more specific that way.

Re:Ask YC companies: What are you using to send emails? on Friday July 24, 2009 @02:19AM (#721074)

For Merecal (http://merecal.com/) we're using Qmail and our web hosting provider supports DomainKeys, etc. However, we're still seeing emails being sent to the Spam folder in Yahoo! Mail and even not arriving at the destination at all for email addresses at hosts like @comcast.net.

Great idea for a thread. I'm looking forward to the responses.

from the ask-hn dept.

We just launched Merecal today. It's a site for tracking new and upcoming releases in books, movies, music and video games that can be personalized based on your own interests. We'd love for you to take a look and give us any feedback you might have. Thanks in advance!http://merecal.com/http://blog.merecal.com/2009/07/23/weve-launched/

Just launched Merecal, a site for tracking upcoming and new releases in books, movies, music and video games. It uses your favorite artists, authors, actors, directors, publishers, etc. to notify you when the releases you're likely to care about become available for pre-order or actually release.
