Even Better Title -

Correct. For me, the post is quite manipulative and borders on deception, ordering it the other way around would make it better and honest.

(You can make a good product and sell it, even without succumbing to the temptations of using temptation tactics.)

You can replicate almost all of this in most email platforms as they all have folders and filters/rules.

Why is the service named after a widely speculated outcome of the Euro crisis -- "Grexit"?

Is that some form of SEO, that is, are they hoping to hijack a popular neologism?

nirajr6• 14 years ago

We named our product GrexIt long before someone started using the term for Greece's eurozone exit. Look for our coverage in TNW, RWW and GigaOm in March to june last year, which was before the term was coined.

If anything, the term has only hurt us by badly polluting our analytics.

getting your name inadvertedly hijacked by a term that suddenly becomes popular is a pretty unique situation.

I'd love to read a blogpost about how it affected your site and business.

I can vouch for this, GrexIt applied to present at my conference in 2011.

I definitely like some of the capabilities that Grexit provides, but did want to note that using your email in this way (as a collaborative, task-tracking tool) is one of the worst ways to beef up your email overload, individually and as an organization. It's a question of the right tool for the right job.

Lots of companies would like to stick to a tool that they already know how to use. Even keeping GrexIt out of the picture, the tips we suggested can really help. Do give this a try.

Definitely agree, and Grexit is great for that and I do really like the tips. Not trying to denigrate here. Just pointing out it's a factor in some settings.
