This is great news.
Congrats to CUE!

Reading this comments constitutes an NDA signature:
Wrap a dating service around this and we can finally bring back the eugenics movement.
OkSuperiorRace.com? PlentyofPerfects.com? eSuperhumanarmony.com?
With your special financial contribution, we can make this dream come true!

I don't want to be negative here. Before I say anything, can you explain to me how this is different than Yelp, Google Maps, Foursquare, etc in one sentence?

... And now we have a lead on a Breaking Bad replacement!
Get Netflix producing and Vince Gilligan writing and I will pay for a season upfront.
Please?

Was sad to see what happened to Cue. It's another example of a great idea with terrible timing. How do you compete when the biggest players in the game join the race?
Cheers guys, there was obvious talent on your team! Interested to see what comes next...

Good to hear, it would be nice if I could subscribe to some sort of newsletter to be alerted of your updates.

I like it. Could you possibly add functionality to break it down by topics? For instance, searching "government shutdown" would produce top trending relevant shares.

Productize this! I'll pay you today for an easy to use service.
I am absolutely going to give this a shot for our next product release. I love that it simplifies the connection to relevant journalists. It's truly a win-win.
Thank you for sharing!
Re:A case for something, anything more simple than WordPress

The only differentiator that I see you offering is inline editing, which can be activated very quickly with a Wordpress plug-in.
I think you're traveling down a meat grinder of a road by choosing to spend time on this.

Good point. That should be noted and it also furthers my original point: This new device claims an even simpler and shorter process.

A lot of negativity in the comments, I'm surprised. Electric toothbrushes aren't more effective than traditional (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_toothbrush), but have huge sales numbers.
Packaging is a problem right now, but put that thing in something unapologetically plastic and shiny and there may just be a market.
Re:Turn mailto links into clean contact forms

I really like this. A couple of random ideas:
* Test integrations with various CRM type systems. Hubspot, Salesforce, Mailchimp all have huge ecosystems that you can leverage!
* Offer per page configuration (on/off)
* Expose CSS for easy skinning. This could be a text box on your portal.
* Offer configurable fields to be collected
* Implement a "send to your webmaster" button.
* Expose that you are a whitelisted sender (if you are)
Good luck!
